Still another view of Kursunlu Falls537 viewsIt was hard to take a bad picture here.

Sun and Marble525 viewsTourists explore the Temple of Apollo while a news camera crew covers preparations for the eclipse.

Nomad Camp567 viewsOn the road from Denizli to Antalya, we stopped at what we were told was a nomad's camp. Genuine nomads are pastoral rather than agricultural, and so it is hard to understand why a real nomad would need a tractor; and given that the lady who maintained this establishment was more concerned with selling items such as shawls and amulets than herding sheep and goats, it seemed more to fit the definition of "tourist trap." Nevertheless, it was a welcome stop in a long ride, and nobody complained.

Great Amphitheater at Ephesus526 viewsScene of the Riot of the Silversmiths (New Testament, Acts 19), who threatened to lynch St. Paul for undermining their profitable trade in graven images. Built in the first century AD; seated up to 25,000.

In Turkish fields the poppies grow...564 viewsAlthough it was too early in the season (late March) for the trees to have leaves, the flowers were out in force!

Middle of Column500 viewsI'm guessing, on the basis of the bow in her hand, that the figure depicted here is the Greek goddess Artemis the Huntress.

Picnic at Kursunlu Park496 viewsWe took a break in a busy day of sightseeing to enjoy a relaxing lunch in Kursunlu Waterfall Nature Park.

Rüstem Pasha Mosque492 viewsNamed for the Grand Vizier and son-in-law of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, this mosque was designed by the great architect Mimar Sinan and completed in 1563.

Changing of the Guard568 viewsOne guard relieves another at the Sultan's Gate.Oct 21, 2019

Palace Garden582 viewsMuch attention and care was devoted to the flowers growing on the grounds of the Dolmabahçe Palace, and the flowers showed their appreciation.Oct 21, 2019

Garden Fountain595 viewsThe elaborate and beautiful fountain in front of the entrance to the Selamlık (public section) of the Dolmabahçe palace.Oct 21, 2019

Gate of the Sultan518 viewsApproaching the Saltanat Kapısı (Sultan's Gate) at Dolmabahçe Palace.Oct 21, 2019

Palace Guard599 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
