Was lost on a road near Mount Erciyes and stopped when I looked at the sky. As I composed my shot this shepherd unexpectedly entered the scene. He didn't speak a word in english and yet we talked for a good 10minutes, gesticulating and grunting in an attempt to communicate.In the end we looked in each other eyes, smiled and shaked hands.Asked him to take a picture and while he stood there with a big smile in his face I felt the purity in his heart.
