There are several Chestnut trees close to my home.
Even now,after so many years, the feel, colour and smell of these wonder creations bring back many happy chid-hood memories.------"Nostalgia".
As a child in the UK we "cured" them to make them hard, skewered a hole through the centre of the nut through which was pulled a knotted cord. Two boys played, one with a "CONKER" held dangling at arms length, the other boy would try to smash said "CONKER" to peices with his own "CONKER" in "sling-shot" fashion.--The winner then went on competitively smashing other boys "CONKERS"---The game( called CONKERS) could last for weeks.

Oh, these are beautiful! Chestnuts are mostly gone from New England, after a blight about century ago. I'm jealous!
horse chestnuts, feed for deer and horses only... beautifully blooming trees though!
btw, Nurettin, I told my folks weeks ago that, SOON, there would be pictures from a visit to a Turkish fish market...
