The Amphitheater at Side722 viewsNot as large or well preserved as the Aspendos Theater, but far better placed to view the eclipse!

Kaya-Blooey722 viewsChuck gets a generous helping of shrapnel from the bombe.

The Beach at Totality722 viewsLooking out over the Mediterranean. Again, without a tripod Sandie's camera was subject to shaking, hence the blurred picture.

A Sultan's Comforts722 viewsA canopied bed by the fireplace. I found the conical fireplaces a little bizarre, but I'm sure they kept the Sultan and his concubines warm.

Golden Arches722 viewsEven in the shadow of the greatest monuments of antiquity, you can't escape the banal icons of the modern world.

Turkish Labyrinth722 viewsSandie was late returning to the agreed-upon rendezvous, and I feared that she would become lost in the Grand Bazaar and end up in a harem, enslaved by the janissaries. But luckily she showed up just in time.

Desert Diorama722 viewsPart of the Spirit of the West exhibit, which offers a walk through time, beginning with a stroll past a Northern Paiute shelter and a fur trapper’s camp, continuing through a Hudson’s Bay Company fort, past an Oregon Trail wagon, through a hard rock mine, then a settler’s cabin and finally the boomtown of Silver City. Warning: Some of the captions for the pictures feature tongue-in-cheek, politically incorrect comments which are made in a spirit of fun and not intended to be taken seriously but which some people will find insensitive, outrageous, and offensive. Persons of tender sensitivities on ethnic, environmental, or animal rights issues may want to skip this section. In other words, if you don't have an easygoing sense of humor, bugger off.
