Cemetery cat !, a photo from Istanbul, Marmara

Photographer's Note

NOTE TO THE MODERATOR :
THİS İS NOT A PET, BUT ONE OF THE MANY THOUSANDS OF UNATTENDED CATS OF ISTANBUL.

I made this capture in the graveyards, at the backside of the famous Eyup Sultan Mosque at the end of the Golden Horn. The hillslopes there are full of graveyards some of them backing 200-300 years ago.
As people -visiting the graves- are feeding those cats, the area there is full of those unattended cats waiting for people who will feed them.

Bonjour, cher Mesut,
J'espère que les modérateurs auront compris le message en préambule.
J'aime beaucoup l'effet réaliste de cette composition et de la posture du félin !
Amitiés.

Bonjour Mesut,

Cette photo fait très plaisir à ma conjointe ce matin. Elle aime beaucoup photographier les chats dans les villes que nous visitons. Celui-ci brille de tous ses feux.

Amicalement

Merhaba Mesut For shure there are no walking deads wandering in the cemetery because the cat looks so relaxed! Fabulous side light! Salamat

Hello Mesut
Excellent picture, with this friendly but also attentive cat guarding the graves of this cemetery.
I like the contrast of the cat between the dark grey of the tombstones and the green leaves in between.
Excellent presentation
Have a nice day . Groet Rob

Hello Mesut, I remember these many cats in Istanbul and the story that Deniz told us about them and sultan. I love cats so I am always delighted, in Istanbul and recently also in Cyprus. Maybe even more cats there. beautiful picture.
