hasankeyf


A late afternoon arrival at Hasankeyf, which will soon be
under the waters of another huge dam, unless there is a
timely discovery of oil, or minerals or Aladdin's cave or
something. It's falling apart, though the shop sells sim cards
& maybe the people won't mind,



cave living could be uncomfortable.. but there's many caves,
people have lived there for time beyond memory,
I wonder what might be lost beyond recovery.
They will be relocated on the far rim.
