Scenes from our 200 km bike tour
Some photographic scenes from our 200 km bike tour in Turkiye, Burdur. It was to and from the second deepest lake of Turkiye, which is Salda Lake. Salda has one of the cleanest waters and tastes very nice. Infact Salda water is used as drinking water by surrounding towns. Many tourists come to see the lake all around the world as it is also habitat to many bird species and resting nest of migrating birds. More photos at doubleshock.

40.000 USD winner ad that we produced
Did I ever mentioned about the ad that we managed to produce in Turkey and won 50.000 Turkish Liras (Approximately 40.000 USD at the time of winning) Infact I played a major role in the making of the film although I didn’t starred in it, but the backstage ‘making of’.
The challenge was arranged by a career site ( www.yenibiris.com ) of leading media group of Turkiye ( Dogan Holding ) The goal was to shot an ad for yenibiris.com, upload it in sendeyolla.com, promote it so that it becomes the most viewed video. We managed to make 800.000 people watch our movie. Thats almost a million in a month!
Of course, that was quite a long and exciting story for us, the competition, frustration when we were behind and fear of being beaten by ads that not even match our quality of hard work of endless nights.
After a challenging and breath taking month of adventure, we become first amongst a bulk of 300 videos. We went to Istanbul for our prize ceromony that took place in Hurriyet Media Towers and had been covered there days in a row in leading newspaper of Turkiye, Hurriyet.
Ok, enough chatter. Please see our video below which not only earned grand prize of 40.000 USD in one of the first Internet marketing challenges in Turkey and also received the nominees ‘Best ad’ award. The second video is our making of video which I tell about how filmed the video and which challenges we had. Unfortunately the video is in Turkish. We might as well considering making it a subtitle, now that over a million people has seen it

I have been gladly swimming in the cleanest and most enjoyable caves in Europe, which is Mugla, Turkey (reference of such swimming heaven) But now in Denton, TX I managed to find a small amount of derived water around somewhere. I should have missed swimming then.
