Türkiye’s largest Atatürk statue, standing 22 meters tall in Artvin, offered a stunning visual spectacle as fog engulfed the monument. Captured using fast motion techniques, the 60-ton statue appeared to vanish into the mist, creating a mesmerizing scene. The 216-square-meter Turkish flag, suspended from a 60-meter pole beside the statue, also disappeared in the fog, adding to the surreal display.

In Gümüşhane’s Dumanlı Village, 38 nature lovers from GÜDAK took part in a 14-kilometer nature walk along the “Lost Santa Road” through the Santa Ruins. Amid fog, drizzle, bird sounds, and blooming flowers, participants followed stone-paved forest paths past historic churches, fountains, and bridges dating back to the 17th century. Known as “Paradise in the Valley,” the Santa Ruins, with seven neighborhoods of centuries-old architecture, offered a blend of natural beauty and deep-rooted history.
