The Stadium at Aphrodisias630 viewsOne of the largest and best-preserved structures of its kind, the Stadium seated 30,000 people.

Nomad Camp630 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.

Entertainment Value630 viewsThe Basilica Cistern has been featured in a number of movies, including the James Bond thriller From Russia With Love, in which Bond took advantage of its location under the Soviet Consulate to get access to a cryptographic machine. In reality, the Consulate is nowhere near the Cistern.

Aquarium on a Vase630 viewsAquatic themes were a favorite motif for plates and vases.

Streets of Antalya629 viewsThere seemed to be a lot of construction going on.

Shooting the Eclipse629 viewsMichelle Evans borrowed an 8" Meade LX-200 Schmidt-Cassegrain (large scope in center) from Space Camp Turkey for the eclipse, but it was for visual use only, no photography. Some photographers were content with cameras on tripods (right of center). Others didn't event bother with tripods.

Tiles629 viewsThe interior of the Blue Mosque is lined with over ceramic 20,000 tiles. These were made in Iznik, the former Nicaea, which was a major center for the production of fine tiles.

Tile Painting629 viewsI don't know what historical scene or event this picture is intended to depict - maybe a slave market - but it was uncharacteristically risque for this shop.

Kitchens629 viewsIn these kitchens, a staff of 800 prepared meals for over 4000 people.

Map of the Ottoman Empire629 viewsShows how the Empire expanded from its early days, when it occupied just a small area of Anatolia and the Balkans, through the 17th century, when it reached its greatest extent. Note that in Turkish the name is "Osmanli," after Osman, the founder; "Ottoman" is a Western corruption.

Classic Model A Fords628 viewsThe rightmost is a 1930 Ford Model A convertible; the middle one is a '28 Model A truck. The leftmost is a 1928 Model A sedan.

A bit shaky on the 5DF628 viewsNo sense of balance - I'd have made a hell of a lousy astronaut.
