When Dafne and Levent visited Mersin from Gaziantep back in February we had to go to the beach. Dafne comes from the Colombian coast and, living in landlocked Gaziantep, she was missing the beach.

I took them to the beach near Soli, just west of Mersin. There, the setting sun provided fantastic light for photography. The following photo of my boss’s Volkswagen Beetle shot on location is the favourite photo I’ve taken so far in 2007.

The light and backdrop help turn an average, old car into a beautiful, superb machine.
