For today's #monomad contest

Yesterday afternoon, I went to the second-hand bookstore in my neighborhood with a list of books to buy. First of all, I would like to show you two mural artworks that I like very much and see very often on my way (in the parking lot at the junction of Reşitefendi Street and Talimhane Street in Kadıköy, Istanbul).

I really like this mural called UFO Attack and its rough line style. Artwork is in black and white, which I think looks nice in a black and white photo. The dystopian apocalyptic mural was named one of the 20 best murals in the world in 2014. It made by M-City. If you want to take a look at other works of the Polish artist and get more information, you can click on the instagram link: https://www.instagram.com/m_city_mariusz_waras/

The name of this mural artwork on the west facade of the apartment building in the same area is Crossroad. A bit realistic and a bit cubist in style, this work is the product of a 2-person collobration: Michal Sepe and Daniel Chazme

At the door of Yolda Sahaf, which I had visited a few times before, I was greeted by a decoration of books - which I guessed were from the Christmas season - and Santa Claus.

I bought seven books in total. The most important one for me was Truman Capote's book, which is no longer available in Turkish :) I think it is surprising that a book like Summer Crossing is not published again in Turkish. So I am a bit lucky. The seven books I listed below cost me three and a half dollars

Girlfriend in a Coma - Douglas Coupland
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey
Summer Crossing - Truman Capote
The Body - Hanif Kureishi
Pigs and Elephants - Helmur Krauser
Familiarity Is the Kingdom of the Lost - Dugmore Boetie
Equations of Life - Simon Morden

I took all the photos with Sony A7SIII and Samyang 24mm f/2.8 lens and edited them in Adobe Lightroom.
I hope you enjoy it.
With love

Very striking your black and white photos, both of the bookstore (as labyrinthine as the "Library of Babel" by J. L. Borges) and of the murals that you present, certainly impressive. Best regards, @altor.

Sahaf ziyaretleri çok sürprizli oluyor, baktığınız yerde birçok hazineye rastlayabiliyorsunuz. O yüzden arada gidip dolaşırım. Aldığınız kitaplardan bende sadece Guguk Kuşu var ama henüz okumadım. İyi okumalar size.
Bu arada duvar resimleri çok güzelmiş, özellikle UFO temalı olan. :)
