Five more views of Diyarbakır

At the risk of diluting the five 'views' of Diyarbakır provided but 24 hours ago, I submit for consideration five more views of Diyarbakır -- and then I promise that no more views of Diyarbakır will appear on these pages.




(1) Not concerned with the fewer than expected seats, seven-year-old Berfin Şen flashes the victory sign (coincidentally the symbol of Kurdish resistance)













(2) The children of Diyarbakır's pro-DTP Hasırlı district display their various stages of preparation for the photo. At the back is the matriarch, keeping a careful eye on proceedings.












(3) The Hasırlı housing landscape --- the owners evidently Galatasaray supporters


















(4) The day done (or not even begun given the level of unemployment in Diyarbakır) the only thing left to do is to get angry while playing cards with your mates at the local kıraathane

(5) And I couldn't leave with providing an obligatory shot of Diyarbakır's main tourist site, the city's Ulu Cami (not present are the 37 or so kids that wanted to discuss football before being ushered off to Qur'an class)
