In the heart of Mersin, a bustling city and historic port on the Mediterranean coast of southern Turkey, a man sells refreshing lemonade from a large container balanced on his back. Mersin, the capital of the Mersin Province, has a rich and complex history, with archaeological excavations revealing 23 levels of occupation dating back to prehistory. The city has been conquered and ruled by various powers throughout the ages, including the Selcuk Turks, Mongols, Crusaders, and Armenians. In more recent history, Mersin was occupied by French and British troops in 1918 before being liberated by the Turkish Army in 1920. Amidst the hustle and bustle of this vibrant city, the lemonade seller offers a moment of respite from the summer heat. The container on his back, filled with the cool and sweet beverage, is a common sight during the hot season.
