| I started a website a few months ago as a hobby with a picture each day of North Cyprus. Some of these pictures may be interesting or helpful to people, which is why I would like to share them with you. If you click on each picture, it will open up and show a larger picture with some information underneath. All of the photos I have taken myself of things I found interesting. I started the website as I thought it would be nice to have a kind of picture diary of my time here. I've also learnt a lot about North Cyprus history, nature, local traditions/foods etc. The website address is: http://northcyprusyear.blogspot.com/ I welcome your comments, and you can vote for your favourite pictures (by liking them), post comments under the pictures etc if you wish. |

| Excellent! I found quite a few that I felt really showed off your photographic skills. They say that we should all be taking lots of photos now that digital photography is so widely available. It is great to look at same photos after say 10 years |

| The evil eye tree is at the Bella View Hotel near Bellapais, near the pool. The owner explained that it had died, so they hung some evil eye pendants and the tree started to grow again, so people can now place pendants on it and make wishes. |

| Kelly I've only had a quick look at the photos, I'll look later when I can take my time & enjoy it better. But I just wanted to say that I have NEVER read a thread on here before where every comment is complimentary, sensible or appreciative. Well done on the lovely photos & also on the huge achievement of such a positive thread! x |

| This the first time in months I have visited this forum for I am tired of the negative and puerile comments which make up the majority of the posts and replies. This post is a breath of fresh air; Kelly evidently apppreciates the many attributes of the TRNC and has shared this with others who have demonstrated a similar attitude and are happy with their lot in Cyprus. Thank you Kelly. |

| Just to let you know, as per request, I am putting a Facebook share button on the posts from now on, and am going back through the old posts to put it on there as well. You can then share your favourite posts with your friends on Facebook. The button is at the end of each post on the right hand side. You can also Like the posts or share on google + and twitter. Thankyou ever so much to all of you for such kind comments, I have to agree that I have not seen a post with such positive remarks from so many people for a very long time. |

| Kelly, Not usually my preferred option for spending my time, but I became engrossed and I am now also a convert. Fab pictures, fascinating content and echo Marco about the nature of your notes. Became very hungry when viewing the dishes and recipes. Well done. |
