In reply to Grey World Nomads. Thank you. I feel it really love Black and White, but nowadays I don't find it as useful as in the past.

In reply to Donna Janke. Donna, I'm telling you none of their hands and arms looked like mine, and all their white clothes were still white. There's some secret to it, I'm sure.

What a great experience. It would be fascinating to watch the herding and milking of the sheep. You now have be wondering how these woman managed to stay clean while milking.

Isn’t Turkey the best place for road tripping? We travelled here in 2012 with our son and girlfriend in an old beat up Transit Van that he bought in London. What we loved the most were the small villages dotted along the Turquoise Coast. We were able to stop and buy fresh sour dough bread, goat’s cheese, huge big red ripe tomatoes and giant juicy peaches for lunch, which I can still taste! Your experience with the sheep farmers would certainly be something to remember. The black and white photos are sensational.

In reply to Ruth - Tanama Tales. Ruth, Chatting is an overstatement here. We didn't seem to share much language, and what we had was both a limited Turkish. It was an amazing day!

In reply to budget jan. Jan, I have always wanted to live on a farm, and I take advantage of milking whatever comes my way. To me, though, this was beyond the farm. I loved the mountain pastures. It's a memory I'll always savor!

No I’ve not been lucky enough to have such an experience. I have milked goats as my Grandmother had a herd of milers. They are milked the same way as these sheep. We saw a lot of herds of animals in eastern turkey. We were enveloped by a herd of cows near Ani http://www.budgettraveltalk.com/2014/05/09/surrounded-cows-ani/
