Eastern Black Sea Yayla Tour

Here are some photos from our recent tour (July 21–29, 2018), in chronological order. More then ten times as many photos, along with a verbal account, not always in chronological order, are on a page of this website (as opposed to a post, like the present one); the page is called Karadeniz, which is the Turkish for Black Sea.

Myself on a wet rocky trail

Ayşe, four other women, and a dog near a stream

View through trees of a wooded valley

One woman stands talking to nine seated women and one man at an overlook; most are smiling

Small figures approach along a dirt road cut into a hillside

Colorful painted interior of wooden mosque

In a wooded notch, façade of mauve building with five tall narrow windows above an awning

On a grassy hilltop above the clouds, several figures sprawl, but one stands with arms raised

From behind, figures descend slope between tall trees

Three women pose on a green slope

Edited September 3, 2025, because of the mention added to “Writing, Typography, and Nature” on the same day

In writing on Book VIII, I noted the fantasy of the main and only character of Huysmans’s A rebours, to condense a novel into the beef essence of literature, namely the prose poem. A problem with this approach to a book is suggested in a tweet by a friend from our recent Black Sea trip: […]
