“A Special & Single Paradise for Taurus Frog” (Bolkar Mt., Ulukışla, Taurus Range)

Dear Friends, as I said in my previous post, Me and my assistants went to Karagöl Lake, Bolkar Mountain (approx. 3200 asl, Nigde province, Eastern Mediterranean Anatolia) to conduct our project on the population dynamics and breeding biology of Taurus Frog (Rana holtzi which is the endemic to Turkey and this lake, and also strictly under conservation. This elavation is the highest point of the Taurus Mountain Range which is located in SE Mediterranean Anatolia. It is shelter so many endemics in both animals and plants. I will continue to upload some additional shots from here in both abiotic and biotic diversities :).

Today I would like to dedicate this landscape shot of this interesting and beautiful place to one of my beloved and heartfelt friends in TN, Ho Tony (gracious) who is an expert on photographing excellent landscapes to thank to him for his valuable contributions to TN . I hope you can like this Tony :)! I wish you all the best my friend and thanks once more for your significant contributions!


Hoping that you like this shot!


Cheers,


Bayram

Günaydın Hocam, nefis bir manzara resmi olmuş. Ama soğuğu cabası. Kurbağa cenneti ama ben yarın gece yine doncam:). Elinize sağlık.

Hello Bayram,
a superb capture of this magnificent landscape!
I love the lake and snow covered valley.
Extremely sharp with loads of detail.
Very nicely lit with great colours.
Good contrast too.
A perfect dedication to Tony.

I hope you enjoyed your freezing trip Geckoman! :-D

Thanks for sharing!

Joe

Hi Bayram,
A lovely capture of this beautiful landscape. I also want to have a look at the frog who lives in such a place. Very good composition. But a little nit is the OE ice (might be in my monitor). Any I have made a WS hope you will like. Many thanks for sharing this.

Hi Bayram!
Beautifull landscape, great composition, Sharp and crystal clear air, almost can feel it;)

Merhaba Bayram Bey,
Çok güzel bir manzara,kartpostal gibi.Ön tarafta kadraja dahil ettiğiniz kayalar derinlik hissini arttırmış.Detaylar,renkler ve pozlama da 4/4 lük.
Tebrikler,ellerinize sağlık!

Hi Bayram,
whata beautiful vista you show us! Great composition and interesting detail and colours throughout. The snow is quite bright, but nothing too major! A very refreshing scene that you have really done justice to, well done! Hope to see some more from this beautiful place.
Paul

Un paisaje realmente hermoso.
Buena nitidez y estupenda definición.
Buen comentario y dedicatoria.
Saludos, JL.

Impressive image, Bayram.
Surprised to see this between Istanbul and Ankara(if I'm not mistaken)
I like the rock formation in lower left corner; it generates a lot of depth and accentuates the beautiful background vista.
Well done
TFS

Splendido paesaggio dove l'arrivo della primavera porta un bellissimo contrasto di colori, eccellenti POV e DOF, ottima nitidezza, magnifici i colori e la luce. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Bayram merhaba,
Bu alan benim Doktora tez bölgemdi. Özlemişim. Gerçi bu kadar karlı br dönemini görmedim. Bu kurak dönemde orada bu kar olması sevindirici. Kayifle izledim. Paylaşımın için teşekkürler.
Selamlar

Great shot bro!
Very different genre of shots from lately..

Turquia...España... es el Mundo y veo que tu País es muy similar al mio.... Porque tantas diferencias entre los hombres ??? Las Religiones (unas y otras) nos han hecho mucho daño.

Hola Bayram,
Şu meşhur gölümüze de çıktın sonunda, bugüne kadar çekilmiş en güzel resmini de bizimle paylaştın, sağolasın, gidip de orada resim çekememiş olmak beni hep üzmüştür... Tony'nin ithafından mermnun kalmasına ayrıca sevindim.
Mehmet

hoca, benim üçüncü memleketten nefis bir manzara. şu dağları, doğası olmasa belki çoktan çekip gitmiştim burdan. ama bağlıyor insanı bu güzellikler. bu sefer görüşemeden ayrıldın sanırım. bir dahaki gelişinde mutlaka beklerim. bu güzel kompozisyon ve çekim için tebrikler, sağlıcakla kal.
This is also great dedication for our nice friend Tony who posts many great landscape shots from beautiful nature of his country, New Zealand.

Hi Bayram

Great composition showing this glaciated valley. Good POV combined with lovely colours.

Hi Bayram, Fascinating mountain landscape with fantastic colors and splendid light, great composition, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hallo Bayram
What a wonderful photo of your expedition to share with us. Although this scenery is very chilly looking ( I cannot handle cold weather ) I think seeing a landscape like this in real life must be an awesome experience. The Creator of All is just wonderful to have formed and shaped the beautiful nature all around us to admire and appreciate, and this photo of yours is such proof of His Mighty Creation. This is really a magnificent landscape, with a mix of blue sky, snowy covered mountains and greenery in the foreground, not to forget the small pond of water down below. This is indeed a view to appreciate.Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day.
Kind regards
Anna

Hello Bayram,
This seems to be not only a paradise for frogs. I suppose that humans would feel the same in this striking environment. Coming from a mountain area, I would feel almost at home. Excellent point of view chosen too.
Thanks alot and full success for your studies
Anne

Hi Bayram,

What a beautiful and special place. A very nice photo showing the unique habitat.

Thanks,
John

Merhaba Hocam,
2 gündür hastaydım yattım sürekli, resimlerinizi ancak yorumluyorum.
Tek kelimeyle mükemmel bir manzara fotoğrafı olmuş hocam, elinize sağlık. Eminim ki Bolkar'dan bir sürü muhteşem kare göreceğiz ilerleyen günlerde.
Saygılar

Yukarıdan aşağısı çok güzel görünüyormuş. Biz aşağıda çalışırken siz yukarıda neler yapıyormuşsunuz da haberimiz yokmuş. Çadırlar bile fark ediliyor :) (nokta halinde:P). İyi geceler.

Another superb landscape capture of amazing Bolkar and Karagöl lake. TFS. Regards,
