Most viewed - Turkey 2006

The Original553 viewsHow the Nymphaeum was supposed to look, and did look, when it was built. Note how the water from hillside springs flowed down the steps underneath the statue of Kestros and into the canal leading to the city gates.

First Courtyard553 viewsLooking back along its tree-lined main avenue toward the Imperial Gate.

Council Hall - Domed Ceiling553 viewsThe Council Hall dates from the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent (16th century), but has been restored several times since. The rococo decorations seen here date from the renovations of 1792 and 1819.

The Celsus Library552 viewsOne of the great libraries of the ancient world, said to contain 12,000 scrolls.

The Show Goes On552 viewsThis is still a working theater; in the spring and summer the Aspendos International Festival of Opera and Ballet offers a series of music and drama productions.

Picnic at Kursunlu Park552 viewsWe took a break in a busy day of sightseeing to enjoy a relaxing lunch in Kursunlu Waterfall Nature Park.

Sandie Takes a Poke552 viewsUnfortunately, the light in this corner of Hagia Sophia was so dim that the camera wasn't able to shoot at the speeds required to freeze motion, so this as well as many other pictures shot inside the cathedral came out blurry.

Detail of the Temple of Hadrian551 viewsErected on Curetes Street in the early 2nd century AD.

No Picnicking551 viewsPicnics were decidedly frowned on in Hierapolis. I'm glad they printed the sign in English, because Turkish, being a non-Indo-European language, is tough to figure out. I might have thought it meant something like "Official Picnic Area."

Club Apollo551 viewsWhere Mark and Cleo used to hang out when they came to town.

Camel Rides551 viewsIn this case the "ride" was limited to sitting on the camel, which remained motionless, and having your picture taken. We would have to wait until we went to Morocco, many years later, to take a real camel ride.

Air and Light551 viewsThe carved wooden shutters opened to admit air and light supplementing the illumination provided by the stained-glass windows.
