The Liminal Network: Dream
Fethiye is a very popular touristic area in the south side of Turkey. When you drive out fethiye towards Antalya - which is another popular touristic city - you have to go through the mountains and valleys. My parents moved from Istanbul to a small village near Fethiye, Gocek, some years ago and they have been living there a quite life after all the fuss and hard work in Istanbul.
One cold November morning, my father and I were driving from Fethiye to Antalya for his angiography. On the top of the mountains going through a valley, I noticed a single tree, in the middle of a field cover in fog. Seemed like an endless field and felt like a dream.
I am a person who remembers almost none of his dreams. Very very rare that I wake up and remember a dream I had and talk about it. I thought if I setup my tripod and went into the fog covered field, it would always be a dream I would remember. So I pulled over and took the shot.
