Comment

I took this photo in Yunushan village of Altınözü district of Hatay, a city in Turkey. Unfortunately, the house, which still preserves its traditional texture, was severely damaged in the earthquake in Turkey occurred on February 6, 2023. Fortunately, Uncle Mehmet and Aunt Fatma survived this earthquake.
