The Museum is Closed739 viewsThis was unfortunate; not only is the museum housed in the old Roman Baths, worth seeing in themselves; but it also contains historical artifacts from several regions of Turkey, dating even back to the Bronze Age.

Pianissimo739 viewsYou could say that this one really took the cake.

First Contact738 viewsAt 12:39:58.1, local time, the Moon starts to encroach on the disk of the Sun. Since there is not much to say about partial phase eclipse images, I have captioned them with stanzas from Archibald Macleish's poem "You, Andrew Marvell" - a magical piece which best conveys the awe and wonder of the stunning natural spectacle we know as a total eclipse of the Sun - and, in the case of the post-totality shots, a few verses from other metaphysical works.
