   Find a sundial on a church wall

   A sundial marks the south wall of Dolishane Church in Hamamlı village, Artvin. This detail recalls how a stone façade could also tell time. From an area open to visitors, look for the dial's markings and photograph them with the surrounding stonework.

4. Nature

   Pick tea on the slopes above Artvin

   The bushes are planted on slopes too steep for machinery, so the leaf is still cut by hand with shears, and only the top two leaves and the bud are worth taking. It is cut in three flushes across the summer and has to reach the factory the same day. Photograph the basket, not the view.
