Summer School Day #1

An enjoyable first Art class this morning at Summer school.  I have nine learners, with a significant age range of 12-16, so lessons require thoughtful planning. They seem very nice and I am very happy to be in the classroom again for a couple of weeks.

Class finishes at 12.00 so I have enjoyed a warm, sunny, peaceful quiet afternoon and evening. Today's photo is the view of the Bosphorus and Asian shore of Istanbul as seen from Konak Terrace on college campus, close to the apartment that I'm currently calling home.  Shame about the campus security camera spoiling the view - sign of the times I guess. The long white building in the distance was the state Kuleli military high school.

Kuleli Military High School was the oldest military high school in Turkey, located in Çengelköyö Istanbul on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus Strait. It was founded on 21 September 1845 by Ottoman Sultan Abdulmecid I.  (wikipedia)
