...this is a wonderful video my dear friend Antonios sent me sometime ago...I just wanted to share with you... Thank you Antonios mehmet Τα πνεύματα επιστρέφουνε τις νύχτεςφωτάκια από αλύτρωτες ψυχέςκι αν δεις εκεί ψηλά στις πολεμίστρεςθα δεις να σε κοιτάζουνε μορφές Και τότε ένα παράπονο σε παίρνεικαι στα καντούνια μέσα σε γυρνάη Πόλη μια παλιά αγαπημένηπου συναντάς σε ξένη αγκαλιά Θέλω να πιω όλο το Βόσποροαλλάζουνε εντός μου τα σύνορα του κόσμου Την βρήκα στις στροφές των ποιημάτωνμε τις βαριές χανούμισσες να ζεικαι ρίχνω μες στο στόμα των αρμάτωντην κούφια μου αλήθεια τη μισή Θέλω να πιω όλο το Βόσποροαλλάζουνε εντός μου τα σύνορα του κόσμου The spirits come back at nights-little lights of unredeemed souls-and if you look up the embrasuresyou'll see morphs looking at you And then a grievance comes upon youand in the slip-roads makes u wonder.Polis is as an old belovedwhom you meet again in the arms of a stranger I want to drink all of the Vosporos-inside me are changing the margins of the world I found her in the verses of the poemsliving together with the heavy Hanumsand i throw inside the arms' mouthmy hollow, my half trouth I want to drink all of the Vosporos-inside me are changing the margins of the world |

Hello Mehmet!
Great photos of your layout and of the Istanbul train stations.
Thanks so much for posting them. Inspiring and I love the bridge metaphor, in a way we are all bridge builders. ... ever seen the film "Bridge of the River Kwai"? ... was one of my Dad's favorite films. He was a mechanical engineer.
Peace and Barış!

In single point perspective, where do track lines meet?
