The Evil Eye Tree
by Helen Betts

Foça, Turkey

This was in the garden of our hotel. The owner had hung nazarlik (protection against the evil eye) all over this pomegrante tree. It was wonderful, but it was almost impossible to get a shot of since I never once saw it in sunlight.

What a wonderful find, Helen. You did a great job of capturing the brilliant blue of the evil eyes - and a bonus is the growing pomegranets. Thanks for once again sharing something from the Turkish culture. Bev
