Nomad Camp737 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.

Tile Painting737 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.
AyaSophia-20060401-1166.jpg
Library Furniture737 viewsThis curious piece of furniture stands in the Library. I don't know its overall purpose, but it appears to harbor a light in the dome.
Aphrodisias-20060326-2718~0.jpg
Men's Room 736 viewsI thought the rest rooms at Aphrodisias deserved special mention because so much attention and care had been lavished on making them unusually spiffy and green.
Aphrodisias-20060326-2782~0.jpg
The Stadium at Aphrodisias736 viewsPam Bloxham, Jim Windlinger and the Lindquists check out the Stadium.
Hierapolis-20060327-2838.jpg
Byzantine Gate736 viewsCharles and Elouise Mattox stroll down the main street near the Byzantine Gate.
Pamukkale-20060327-2857.jpg
The Museum is Closed736 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.
Aspendos-20060328-3014.jpg
Aqueduct736 viewsA segment of the old Roman aqueduct, 15 kilometers of which remain standing.

Pianissimo736 viewsYou could say that this one really took the cake.
