Most viewed - Turkey 2006

Rug Yurt550 viewsThis is how they lived out on the steppe in the days of Genghis Khan and Tamerlane. Yeah, right.

Stage Backdrop550 viewsAlthough the stage itself has not survived, the columns on which it rested are still in place, and the backdrop, known as the "scaenae frons", is still intact.

Silver and China550 viewsElegant silver vessels and china demi-tasses, suitable for tea or coffee.

Multifunction Gizmo550 viewsCandelabra, clock, bowl and dispensers for condiments or cosmetics - not sure which - but certainly a versatile product of the silversmith's art.

Roman Lamps549 viewsCandellariae, in various interesting shapes. I especially liked the one in the shape of a foot.

Dolmabahçe Palace549 viewsBegun in 1843 by Sultan Abdülmecid I, completed in 1856, the Dolmabahçe Palace superseded Topkapi as the Sultan's' primary residence and seat of government for the last half-century of the Ottoman Empire.

Stone Heads548 viewsI was tempted to purloin one of these to put on the Headless Roman in the museum. I think I would have chosen the rightmost one in the lower row.

Temple of Apollo548 viewsThis Apollo, the chief god of Hierapolis, was linked to an ancient Anatolian sun-god, Lairbenos.

You, Andrew Marvell548 viewsAnd strange at Ecbatan the trees
Take leaf by leaf the evening strange...

The Blue Mosque - Architecture548 viewsThe Blue Mosque incorporates elements of both Byzantine and Islamic architecture, resembling in some respects its neighbor, Hagia Sophia.

Coals to Newcastle548 viewsIt was the Ottoman Turks who introduced coffee to Europe, so there is some irony in finding an outlet of a coffee shop chain originating in the USA, and now Australian-owned, in Istanbul.

Northern View from Topkapi Harem548 viewsLooking across the Golden Horn toward Beyoğlu, with the Galata Tower standing proudly in the center.
