A Dream of Kas

I took this photo on a peaceful day while visiting the charming coastal town of Kas, located in Turkey. The vibrant colors of the houses perched on the hillside immediately caught my eye. They seemed to cascade down to meet the gentle waves of the harbor. The deep blue of the sky complemented the turquoise waters perfectly, creating a harmonious palette that was simply breathtaking. The Meis Express Head Office sign on the building in the foreground is a nod to the ferry service that runs between Kas and the Greek island of Meis. It highlights the town's historical connectivity and its role as a vibrant hub in the region. Docked along the waterfront, the traditional Turkish gulets added character and authenticity to the scene. Capturing the timeless elegance of these boats was imperative, as they symbolize the deep maritime culture of the area. The greenery dotting the landscape provided a refreshing contrast against the backdrop of the dry, rugged hills. I love how the photo encapsulates a slice of everyday life in Kas – quiet, yet bustling with hidden stories and connections across the sea. This image is a snapshot of tranquility and a testament to the town's unique fusion of histories and cultures.
