Patience, perseverance and hope

by Nilay Dogulu, METU, Ankara, Turkey

Turkey suffers from driest winter in years, including central Anatolia. The trees at METU campus in Ankara, located in this region of semi-arid climate conditions, had to be pruned in early February due to spring-like weather in winter. In this photo, you see pruned tree branches waiting patiently for some rain to fall on them – without knowing when, but with hope!
