It snowed on and off this week, and even though teachers pooled money together to bet on which day we would get off from school, we never got a snowday. Today the sky cleared for the first time all week, and I was inspired to take pictures. I could see mountains across the valley that I had never seen before (usually there is a lot of pollution). So on my walk to main campus for my Turkish lesson this morning, I took some pictures. Nothing fancy, but I have been posting a lot of gorgeous pictures of my travels, and these are almost more important as they give the feeling of my day-to-day life here. These are the sights I see on a daily basis (usually without the snow). Stark, ugly, plain, beautiful, dismal, simple, barren, you can decide. This is Bilkent, the area of Ankara in which I live.

I'd say beautiful, but it looks like you decided to capture it on a nice non-polluted day. You should post the same picture series this summer for the contrast:) Now, where's the shot of you skiing down those hills? Can't wait to meet and team up on some adventures this summer...
