Arrive at Goksu Park and grab a coffee or snack from one of the lakeside cafes. The park is open until 23:00, so it is easy to find a seat before the crowds arrive.
17:33
Walk the path around Susuz Lake. The sun is setting toward the WSW, casting long shadows across the water and the island restaurant.
17:48
Stop at the water's edge to watch the sun dip below the horizon. The golden light from 17:06 will have just faded, leaving a soft afterglow over the funfair and the lake.
