Third Contact plus 41 Minutes744 viewsThis was my last photo of the 2017 eclipse. The Eclipse Nazis (aka site monitors), not understanding that eclipses don't end at Third Contact, were harassing us to pack up our gear and clear off the site.

Seating Plan744 viewsSeating was organized into two tiers, with twenty rows each in the bottom and top tiers.

Skinny-Dipping Pool743 viewsIn the pool enclosed by the Portico of Tiberius, devotees of Aphrodite could frolic in the nude and disport themselves in all manner of lascivious activities. (Of course I just made that up.)
NGC7709-LRGB-20190830-f5.jpg
NGC 7009 - The Saturn Nebula743 viewsA planetary nebula in the constellation Aquarius, at a distance of about 5000 light-years, with a superficial resemblance to the planet Saturn. This image does not do it justice, because a much larger telescope is required to resolve the complex internal structure of the nebula.

Blue Mosque - Fountain and Minaret743 viewsOne of the six minarets of the Blue Mosque towers over the fountain in the forecourt of the Mosque.

Christian Church743 viewsChristians and Jews comprise only 1-2% of the population of Turkey, and most of the Christian churches are concentrated in Istanbul, many of them in the Beyoğlu district. I was unable to identify the denomination of this church.

The Waterfall742 viewsThe Kursunlu Waterfall is on a tributary of the Aksu, the major river of Antalya Province. We were lucky to see it in springtime; it's reported that it dries to a trickle in the summer.
