These men were enjoying tea on a slow afternoon in Ulus, the old downtown part of Turkey’s capital city Ankara. Just up the street is a row of shops selling wool carpets and down the street is a row of copper workers, but right here there’s nothing to think about but the tea.
And here is the nexus of gratitude is.

Ink Rain emerged from doodles in the margins used as an aid to concentration in my mid school years. I have since developed my Ink Rain style into a unique and exciting art form. This style is based on the balance between small shapes and the corresponding white space. The style also uses smaller figures as shapes themselves to form part of the larger figure. The balance and contrast between the positive and negative spaces can be played with to form interesting patterns. The careful creation of the smaller shapes and their relation to one another gives the image a unique feel.
‘Ilio holo i kauaua ~ Hawaiian Translation: Dog That Runs in Rough Water / Hawaiian Monk Seal © 2009 Sharon Anne Mau Marine Conservation Biology Institute A beautiful sleeping Hawaiian Monk Seal basking in the sun on Ho’okipa / Maui Hawai’i Monachus schauinslandi / Pinniped Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / 22.April 2008 1:16:10 PM / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/320 / Av( Aperture Value ) 9.0 / ISO Speed 400 “An adult monk seal is usually dark grey or brown with a light grey or yellow belly. Adults can be up to 7 feet and weigh anywhere from 396 to 595 pounds; adult females are generally larger than males. Pups usually weigh 24 to 33 pounds at birth and weigh up to 132 to 198 pounds within five to six weeks. The monk seal’s common name is derived from its folds of skin that look like a monk’s hood, and because it spends most of its time alone or in very small groups. Most Hawaiian Monk Seals live in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands – Kure Atoll, Midway Atoll, Pearl and Hermes Reef, Lisianski Island, Laysan Island, French Frigate Shoals, Gardner Pinnacles, Necker Island, and Nihoa Island. These atolls and islands are very remote and are either uninhabited or have little impact by humans, thus providing an ideal habitat for these easily disturbed creatures. The coral reefs found around these atolls and islands provide the monk seal with its food supply: spiny lobsters, octopuses, eels, and various reef fishes. Their enemies include humans, sharks, diseases, attacks from their own species, and marine debris such as lost fishing nets and plastic products. They spend most of their time in the ocean but like to rest on sandy beaches, and sometimes use beach vegetation as shelter from wind and rain. Monk seals are expert swimmers and divers; one seal was recorded diving into depths in the range of 66 and 96 fathoms (396 to 576 feet). The average monk seal dives 51.2 times per day. The life span of the Hawaiian Monk Seal is from 25-30 years. The Hawaiian Monk Seal recovery efforts are overseen by the National Marine Fisheries Service, in cooperation with other government and private organizations and universities. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service manages many remote islands as National Wildlife Refuges to protect their habitat. The Hawaiian Monk Seal was listed as an endangered species in 1976 under the Federal Endangered Species Act. Critical habitat was designated in 1988 from beaches to a depth of 20 fathoms (120 feet) around the northwestern Hawaiian islands.” Save Our Seals Hawaiian Monk Seal Information Source This photograph cannot be modified for commercial or advertising use, nor can it be copied or reproduced in any form without the photographer’s permission.
