Ahh... we're finally here at my mountain hut.

I've built every bit of it myself.... priming the logs, cutting and setting them, wired electricity & installed plumbing, an outdoor shower, a kitchenette and a wood burning stove.   The outdoors is perfect with a vegetable garden, camp style fire pit to cook and barbecue.

I've bought old-fashioned photo processing equipment, added meaningful travel collectibles, hand-me-down furniture and an adorable vintage vinyl record player to listen to the classics and stargaze!  

It's my man-hut  that also serves as a photography atelier but truly it's my private sanctuary and secret hideaway when I want to get away from Istanbul!   It's been a labor of love..... and I love coming here whenever I get a chance; it makes me feel like me, like I'm home!

Damn.... I've never brought a girl to my mountain cabin, didn't even occur to me to take the others  there!    Privately I know that most of those girls wouldn't appreciate the rustic nature of it!  That would also reveal me to be a brute savage versus the sophisticated savage they think I am!

..

I open the door for her and she enters the hut.... and for the next few moments, her expressions are priceless - awe, wonder,  fascination and curiosity becomes her!

Hah.... I am trying to impress this girl, aren't I?  I'm trying to understand her core values.... money and flashy things don't sway her.... she's not pretentious or stuffy but very authentic and  sentimental, like nobody I've met before!

I give her my clothes to wear.... and she looks  just as ravishing in them as that gorgeous pink tulle gown I had picked for her!  Hmmm... nobody else has worn my clothes and she's not even my girl, not yet!

I'm in my usual gear... tank tops and aged jeans. We both agree to split the cooking duties, salad on her and meats for me.  I tell her where to gather the vegetables and walk to the forest nearby for some firewood.
