Gift

I stopped by Meftun, who sells building materials under the terrace cafe. Thank you for gifting two photos hanging on the wall to my collection.

In the first photograph, as far as I learned from fishermen, Halil Sarı's boat appears.

Secondly, the photocopy of an old photograph and the following information note about Burgaz Island are stapled in the corner.
