The district, which hosts domestic and foreign tourists throughout the year with its unspoiled nature, historical texture, and centuries-old stone houses, became one of the meeting points where photography enthusiasts came together this autumn as well.
Sixty photography lovers, who visited the villages of Uzuntaş, Karabastı, and Sarpkaya to capture the natural beauties and stone houses, photographed the colors of the autumn season that dominate nature.
Mehmet Kılıçoğlu, Vice President of the Photographic Arts Federation of Turkey, said that they organize trips to bring the region into the fold of photography tourism.
Stating that they liked the region very much, Kılıçoğlu said, "We came here with photographers from Diyarbakır, Van, and Bitlis. We took photos not only of autumn but also of life itself. We captured unique frames. This place will now be one of our important routes."
Mehmet Sıddık Demir stated, "This is a place that can be visited in all four seasons and where its nature can be photographed. We are thinking of coming every season. The stone and adobe houses and the natural life are very good. We want the natural beauties here to be protected."
Sümeyye Şimşek, who came from Diyarbakır, also expressed that they photographed the villages dominated by autumn colors and noted that there are good locations for those who want to take photos in the region.
