A small river runs peacefully into the Bosphorus from the European side of Istanbul, from around Emirgan. Istanbul has many such rivers, but this is one of the rare ones that is not a stinking, dried-up dump. The city is so large that it has swallowed up some rivers entirely. Such streams run completely underground, unknown to the people walking above.

Two Slugs
My sister loves slugs for some reason. We went out searching one warm July night...
...and found these small, brownish ones. Trying to be a bit more professional, we tried to photograph them against a ruler for size comparison.
