Yesterday afternoon (Saturday), you could see people looking out to sea at a mini tornado heading towards the shore. It was nothing like as powerful or spectacular as the one that we saw in March 2008, but it was enough to turn a few heads. And in the evening there was torrential rain. In the photo below you can see the tornado (or more accurately a water spout), heading in the direction of a small boat. Fortunately, the wind fizzled out and the boat was spared. You can also see an amazing contrast in the colour of the sky - black on the top left and blue on the top right. It was also noticeably cooler last night. Time to dig out the duvet! Below: Here comes the water spout.
Below: The water spout approaches. Fortunately it fizzles out before reaching the boat in the foreground.

When the Merkez Cafe closes, you know it's just about the end of the main tourist season.
