Photographer's Note
Back to the South-East Anatolia...
It's the time of "Festival of Sacrifices"
Some of the people here, in the old market/alleys of Sanliurfa, are trying to choose their sheep for sacrifice. The breaders nearby areas bring their sheeps, cows even camels to the cities to sell. The market is generally so crowded and a little caotic.
What is "The Festival of Sacrifice" ???
According to the legend ;
One of Abraham's main trials was to face the command of Allah to kill his only son. Upon hearing this command, he prepared to submit to Allah's will. When he was all prepared to do it, Allah revealed to him that his "sacrifice" had already been fulfilled. He had shown that his love for his Lord superceded all others, that he would lay down his own life or the lives of those dear to him in order to submit to Allah.
At the end of the pilgrimage, Muslims throughout the world celebrate the Festival of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha). During this celebration, Muslims commemorate and remember this incident, by themselves slaughtering an animal such as a sheep, camel, or goat.
The meat from the sacrifice is mostly given away to others. One-third is eaten by immediate family and relatives, one-third is given away to friends, and one-third is donated to the poor. It also symbolizes muslims willingness to give up some of our own bounties, in order to strengthen ties of friendship and help those who are in need.

merhaba bulent,
i can see that the event is taking place right in front of the "kebab salonu" so that the sacrifice will end in the "salonu" in the next phase;
very interesting story, there is another moment when sheeps are being killed as a sacrifiece: end of the ramadan period, isnt it?
very nic decision to show the moment and to do it in b&w;
all the best, j.

Merhaba Bόlent,
again you did well to chose b&w for this occation; sharp and detailed.
It is always fascinating how traditon keeps in touch with modern times and how those traditional celebrations are still respected.
Selamlar

Hi Bulent,
Nice atmospheric picture of a market. I like the taxating expression ton the men's faces.
Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Merhaba Ustadim,
Kurban Bayrami gibi batili gozlerin hassas, hatta biraz onyargili oldugu bir konuda, boyle guzel aciklamalar ve boylesi net fotograf guzel bir calisma olmus. Sanirim bu fotografi daha ziyade siyah beyaz fotograflari koydugunuz Turkiyeden manzaralar temasina ekleyeceksiniz. Elinize saglik.
Yalniz nacizane bir ufak dusunce: Ibrahim ile ilgili hikayeyi anlatirken "Allah" yerine "God" sozcugunu kullansaniz belki daha anlamli olurdu. Ne de olsa Ibrahim bir yahudiydi ve bu hikaye hem Tevrat, hem de Kuran'da yer alan bir hikaye. Ayrica bu konunun hiristiyan ikonalarinda da sikca islendigini goruyorum.
Su gunlerde dunyada hizla gelisen hosgorusuzluk ve siddet surecini uzulerek izliyorum. Boylesi dinler arasi diyaloglarin ve uc semitik dindeki ortak paydalarin altinin cizilmesinin onemi cok diye dusunuyorum.
Resim cok guzel, tekrar ellerinize saglik...
Sevgiler, saygilar,
Alper

Bόlent Ustam, bu da harika bir ηalışma, casual ve bilgilendirici.."Ciğer Kebap Salonu" daha da bir 'ironik' yapmış.. ;)
Alper beye katılıyorum, batılılar "Allah" ı anlamıyor pek, anlamını biliyorlar ama, mόslόmanların kendi tanrıları gibiymiş gibi dόşόnόyorlar aynı zamanda, belki "God" demek daha faydalı olabilir..
Selamlar, sevgiler.
(bu aralar gene başımı kaldıramıyorum tahmin ettiğin gibi, bφyle yakaladıkηa fırsat toptan gidicem artık, :))
