Oddly enough, three Corvairs and on my way to work a hawk flew across the road about 4 feet above my head and 10 feet ahead of me. Quite a view from the motorcycle.

Yes... I feel sorry for that woman wearing the burka though, isn't the idea of swimming to become free in the water? (Of course it was only about one hundred years ago that the British had segregated bathing locations at the beach and the men were allowed to swim naked while the women were forced to wear those ridiculous "bathing costumes" which covered her whole body)

i've also heard that turkey is SO eclectic now, because of all of the different influences. perhaps that is another reason women do not have to wear hijab in public.
Right now Turkey is producing some of the best films about humanity and human growth. It's an exciting time there.
