rock cats

along the seaside of istanbul, in one district anyway (namely bakirkoy) rocks are piled up in a wide stretch along the water.  probably for the purpose of thwarting heavy waves which occasionally come from a local wind called "lodos".  on typical calm days however, cats can be found bringing up families amongst the many little caves that these rocks form.  i walked maybe 2 kilometres along the seaside and must have seen 30 cats.
