Evolution of a Fortress0 viewsAfter the conquest of Constantinople, Rumelihisari served first as a customs barrier and then a prison. Today it is a museum that also hosts concerts and various kinds of festivals.

Mission Control Consoles2 viewsControl center for the Discovery Space Shuttle mockup. Probably not as elaborate as the one in Houston.

The Exception0 viewsThe streetcars that run to and from Taksim Square are the sole exception to the prohibition on motor vehicles on Istiklal Street.

Blue Mosque - Fountain and Minaret0 viewsOne of the six minarets of the Blue Mosque towers over the fountain in the forecourt of the Mosque.

Carpets Galore2 viewsCherie and Sandie marvel at the profusion of rugs in the lobby.

Ceremonial Hall Dome2 viewsThe domed ceiling of the Ceremonial Hall. The dome is 118 feet high. Note the thin, frail-looking cable from which the 4.5 ton chandelier is suspended. I wouldn't want to be under the chandelier in an earthquake.

North Agora viewed from the Acropolis2 viewsThe north agora is a large public square (202 X 72 m), originally enclosed by stoas (porches) on all sides. Parts of the south and east stoas have remained standing since antiquity, and the north stoa was partially uncovered in excavations in the 1960s. Archaeologists believe this was the original center of Hellenistic Aphrodisias.

Weaving5 viewsElouise and other members of our tour group watch as the weaver demonstrates the operation of the loom.

Gate of the Sultan9 viewsApproaching the Saltanat Kapısı (Sultan's Gate) at Dolmabahçe Palace.Oct 21, 2019

Palace Guard7 viewsThe guard in front of the Sultan's Gate stands in his spotless dress uniform, perfectly rigid, unmoving, unblinking. Reminded me of the KGB guards at Lenin's Tomb in Moscow.Oct 21, 2019

Jerry and Sandie7 viewsIn the garden of the Dolmabahçe Palace.Oct 21, 2019

Lioness with Cubs5 viewsMischievous little devils.Oct 21, 2019
