How can this car drive with such a low suspension?

Today in Turkey, the weather is perfect for a walk: it's sunny, with a temperature of around 22-23°C, and it feels a bit warmer in the sun, around 26-27°C. There's a light breeze, making the air fresh and pleasant. It's a great time to walk along the seafront, enjoy the views, and breathe in the sea air.

Atatürk's Memorial Day in Turkey

Weekend market, close to my apartment

This morning in Turkey was windy and partly cloudy, with active waves on the sea, reminding that winter is coming soon. At 9:05, the whole country observed a minute of silence: cars and public transport stopped, people on the streets paused as the siren sounded, paying their respects. It was at this exact time in 1938 that the president and founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, passed away.
