"Don’t it always seem to go
That you don't know what you’ve got
‘Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot"

Joni Mitchell


The daily gridlock about a block from my office. I must have hung out on various corners for an hour, waiting for the appropriate degree of chaos. At one point a car parked in front of me and the driver got out an stuck his head directly in the middle of the picture (intentionally, obviously). I started to tell him to get out of my way when I realized it was a good friend of mine, from the other side of town. It's a very small world here in Ankara :-).
