Wow! Friday again already, so it's time for the second instalment of A Fethiye Photo Every Friday. Last week, we kicked off with a scene from the new section of Fethiye harbour, halfway between the centre of town and Çalış.
My silent New Year's Resolution was to sort out all of my photos - delete the attempts that didn't quite work out so well, edit the ones we like, label, number, assign to a folder. This used to be an easy task - but I've realised as each year passes, I'm taking more and more photos and therefore giving myself a harder job...but it must be done. It's an obsession. An obsession that's taken me back two years into the archives.
Fethiye Marina Gülets
And this photo is two years old but it was taken in January and it's a typical January scene along Fethiye marina. On a sunny day, winter is perfect because you can see the mountains; snow resting on the peaks. The air is clear (once the smoke from the wood burners has dispersed) the sea calm and the sky a vibrant blue.We've never been on a gület cruise - hopefully we can rectify that one day - but if there is one thing that symbolises Southwest Turkey and the Turquoise coast, and one thing that contributed to us falling in love with Fethiye as soon as we arrived in 1998, it's the sight of these beautiful, wooden vessels.
Have you ever been on a gület cruise? We'd love to hear about your experience.

Oh, what a beautiful place!!! I love it. I hope this year to reach there!:) Thank you for post! :)
Great photo of the gulets. They really are fabulous boats for cruising on. A couple of years ago we joined a group of friends for a week's cruise from Gocek. It was one of the most relaxing holidays we have had and a perfect way to enjoy the small towns along the coast. I'd love to do another!
Ha...want to help me edit my photos too? ;-) We've taken more than 10,000 photos in 2 years.
Love the harbor shot! Walking along the harbor and seeing all those boats was just lovely when we visited Fethiye in Oct.
beautiful gorgeous spectacular- so many words to describe this pic. Thanks for sharing- even though it might be two years old- to me it is new and I loved it!
A beautiful image with the masts soaring up into that blue sky!
@Ester: If you get here, hope you like it. :-)
@Jenny: Would love try one. You've definitely sold us anyway. Quite like the idea of sailing along the coast. :-)
@Joy: That's a lot of photos! :-) Think we'll leave you to do your own, if you don't mind. ;)
@Anjuli: Thank you for the compliment. Glad you liked the photo. A lot more to come. :-)
@ Andrew Graeme Gould: High praise coming from you. Thanks. I love taking winter photos. :-)
