{:en} Yellow Summer has begun in the Aegean. September and October are known as the Yellow Summer here, and to me, they are the most beautiful times of the year. The sea is still warm, but the waves have slowed. Walking along the beach in the morning, you come across only a few people. The old crowds, the laughter, the beach shouts, the children’s voices, the sunbed rush—all are gone. There is only the wind, only the seagulls. The air carries a faint scent of seaweed mixed with iodine. The sky is softer, painted in pastel tones. Even the sun shines differently; it does not rush, as...

{:en} Istiklal Street is the pupil of Istanbul with its cosmopolitan structure and the heart of Beyoglu.When you immerse yourself in the flow of the street, from its mysterious alleys to its freshlybrewed tea, from book benches to the smell of fresh pastries, from theater stages to movietheaters, from schools to places of worship, from street musicians to cafes that offer livemusic, the street is a place of people who sail to work, day, joy, hope… The moment you caress the head of the yellow tabby waiting for its sustenance on this street that contains a thousand and one colors; your eye catches the posters of Atlas...

{:en} A Life on the Other Side of the World By Melda Sherman — reporting from Boston In this story, I’ll quite literally take you to the other side of the globe — to the Southern Hemisphere, to Sydney, Australia. My guest, Buket Behçet Balaban, speaks candidly about not only what life is like in Sydney, but also how migration shapes a person’s outlook, resilience, and sense of belonging. This interview feels especially meaningful to me, as Buket is also a reader of my book Migratory Birds. I’d like to take this chance to thank her once again for our warm and heartfelt exchange. Buket Behcet BALABAN/ Sydney From Izmir to Sydney:...

{:en} A lunar eclipse will occur on March 25 at 5 degrees of Libra. The effects of the eclipse will last until the next eclipse. The eclipse in Libra will bring to our agenda themes in the field of relationships, valuing and being valued, and equality in general. Venus, the ruler of the eclipse, will be in conjunction with Saturn in Pisces. Even though the events are blocked by Saturn, there is support for the eclipse ruler from Jupiter and Uranus. It seems that we will get good results, even if delayed. The lucky ones of this eclipse are Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, and Aquarius. Aries, Cancer, Libra, and...

{:en} A strong New Moon will take place on May 19, 2023 at 18.53 Ankara time and 11.53 Washington time. It will be the first New Moon I will experience after eclipses. (The eclipses are not over, there is another Solar and Lunar eclipse in October). Mercury is not Retrograde at the time of the New Moon. This means that the energies that will enable us to make more accurate and appropriate decisions are now included in our lives. Since the moon will be in the crescent phase, it is beneficial to coincide with your important affairs between May 22-25. Pluto, Neptune and Mars have positive aspects...

My passion for cinema started in highschool with the screenwriting of some experimental short movies and another element was taking photos. Istanbul is a very suggestive city for photography. This gave me...

{:en} Yes, you guessed it right! We are going to Vienna! You are invited to a city that stretches the limits of your imagination with its magnificent palaces, grand boulevards, and parks. This stunning city is like a film set in Austria, with horse-drawn carriages whizzing past you as you walk, and rich, gilded, chandeliered concert halls that will transport you to a fairy tale! With more than half of Vienna being green parkland, it also promises peace.I start my trip in the Innere Stadt, the historic heart of Vienna, feeling like I am in a dream far away from the century we live in. This area,...
