Ortaköy Mosque226 viewsA Baroque Revival mosque commissioned by Sultan Abdülmecid I and built in 1854-56. The Bosphorus Bridge, which almost passes over it, was built in 1970-73.

Obelisk of Theodosius I211 viewsOriginally erected at Karnak by Pharaoh Thutmose III in the 15th century BC, and moved to Constantinople by Emperor Theodosius I in 390 AD. It stands in what used to be the Hippodrome and is now Sultan Ahmet Square.

Tea Service227 views17 pieces, in a velvet-lined case.

Council Chamber Door284 viewsThe latticed grilles satisfied a law requiring that Council sessions be open to the public.

Ready to Shoot the Eclipse187 viewsMy equipment: a TeleVue Pronto 70mm refractor on a TelePod mount; a Baader mylar white-light filter, and an Olympus OM-1 film camera. In the background, just behind my back, Marvin Blaski is relaxing and enjoying the spectacle.

South Agora208 viewsLooking toward the South Agora and the Baths of Hadrian; the Amphitheater is off to the right.

Sandie at the Temple of Apollo304 viewsA modern-day Cleopatra lounges in the Mediterranean sunshine, awaiting the arrival of her Mark Antony.

The Amphitheater at Side264 viewsThe Side Amphitheater was ground zero for viewing the spectacle on eclipse day. I shudder to think of how packed the place must have been, and I think our location on the beach at the Kaya Side Hotel must have been much less crowded and more relaxed.
