Random files - Turkey 2006

Illumination590 viewsFlash photography is not permitted in the Blue Mosque. Even though artificial lighting supplements the natural light admitted through the stained-glass windows, it was still too dim for our cameras inside the mosque, so many of our pictures came out blurry.

Southwestern Entrance Mosaic570 viewsDates from the reign of Emperor Basil II (976-1025). Depicts the Virgin Mary seated in the center with the Christ child on her lap, with Emperior Constantine on the right, presenting a model of the city of Constantinople, and Emperor Justinian on the left, presenting a model of Hagia Sophia.

Lioness with Cubs560 viewsMischievous little devils.

Kaya Side Hotel at Sunset612 viewsThe central section of the hotel, with the dining area where we were about to enjoy our evening feast, as seen from our room in one of the wings of this enormous hotel.

The Domitian Temple532 viewsWhoever named it was misinformed, because it was actually erected in honor of the Emperor Titus, predecessor of Domitian.

The Stonehenge of Perge597 viewsThere was no indication on the site as to the purpose of this ringlike structure in the middle of the Agora. A cistern? A shrine? A pool? Who knows?

Sundial564 viewsDates from the reign of Mehmed the Conqueror, who died in 1481.

LIghting the Fuse588 viewsMaybe these are real bombs after all, and the cooks are really terrorists in disguise.
