One for two I enjoy looking at was taken in a restaurant in Baklu, the capital of Azerbaijan, during a family trip about one year ago. It was a special evening because we were celebrating my father’s birthday and we had gone to a well-known traditional restaurant near the city center. This photo was taken just before dinner started. In the picture, my whole family is sitting around a beer-flavored decorated table filled with local Azerbaijani dishes like dolma, kebabs and saffron rice. Also behind us you can see the warm interior of the restaurant, colorful carbs, traditional ornaments and wooden walls that gave the place a cozy and authentic feeling. What I love most about the photo is how relaxed and happy and relaxed we all look. My parents are smiling, my siblings are laughing and I remember truly content in that moment. It was one of those rare times when we were all together without any distractions. I take this photo on my phone and whenever I look at it, it reminds me how important the family time is. It also brings back the sounds and smells of that evening. That’s why this photo means so much to me.

One photo I enjoy looking at was taken in a restaurant in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, during a family trip about one year ago. It was a special evening because we were celebrating my father's birthday, and we had gone to a well-known traditional restaurant near the city center. This photo was taken just before dinner started. In the picture, my whole family is sitting around a beautifully decorated table filled with local Azerbaijani dishes like dolma, kebabs, and saffron rice. Also behind us, you can see the warm interior of the restaurant, colorful carpets, traditional ornaments, and wooden walls that gave the place a cozy and authentic feeling. What I love most about the photo is how happy and relaxed we all look. My parents are smiling, my siblings are laughing, and I remember feeling truly content in that moment. It was one of those rare times when we were all together without any distractions. I took this photo on my phone, and whenever I look at it, it reminds me how important family time is. It also brings back the sounds and smells of that evening. That's why this photo means so much to me.
