this morning Dutch tv journalist friend Silvia and I arrived to the Uludah ski resort area for a fun work.. never have been in a ski resort before during a winter time let em admit-- i was here during summer and there was no snow long years ago. so we got into the chair lift to get on the one of the peaks.. we did not go too far .. actuall highest of the uludag is altitude of 2,543 meter. we first got into cable car it takes around 30 people-- must say was fun. anyways some of the pictures i shot for no reason. i normally do not like so cold places. always prefer warm areas.:) i shot some pics and wanted to share with you too my first experience of that ski place..
