  Yes, and it guards a statue of Justitia – or Lady Justice.

  Thank you for your compliment, Jalal.
  Yes, here in Europe you find them everywhere – and sometimes they are really good…
  …like the accordionist I photographed – and although he was standing on a famous square in the middle of town he was ignored by everyone.
  
  Somehow I have the feeling that people only like guitar players that cannot sing, but try out some famous songs by Dylan, Cat Stevens or the Beatles…

  I used the blacks and grays to blog out the people that were ignoring the music.

    I’m afraid the prospects are not good. The lastest I heard was that the town is going to be flooded next year. Also, they didn’t manage to collect enough money for transferring some of the buildings to higher ground and therefore they want to do an underwater archaeological park.

    I suspect this was the plan all along! Is the current situation effecting the proposed flooding?

    I have no idea. The PKK said they wanted to sabotage the dam projects, but I think they haven’t done anything yet.
    Probably the construction site of the dam is pretty well protected.
