It's cold again here in Urgup, so I decided to post some of the summer photos just to remind myself that summer actually happens in this place. It definitely did last year, and it's one of the sunniest proofs that I have. Basically, it's a pumpkin growing on a wall. I didn't know it was possible for a pumpkin to reach such heights, but here it is. Oh, and notice the faint blue paint on the wall. It's there because the house belonged to the wealthy Greeks, who used to live in Mustafapaşa before the population exchange of 1923.
I will certainly write more about the population exchange between Turkey and Greece some time later, as it is connected directly to Mustafapaşa, which used to be known by the name of Sinasos and had a largely Greek population. Right now, lots of Greek mansions remind of those times, and most of them have various elements painted in this exact shade of blue. And one of them has a pumpkin growing on its wall..
