Local Color695 viewsIn the 1970s and 80s the Istiklal side streets were notorious for their bars and bordellos, but then gentrification set in; we saw plenty of bars and pubs, but no evidence of any bordellos.
Aphrodisias-20060326-0362.jpg
Agora, Sebasteion and Village of Geyre694 viewsThe village of Geyre, relocated 2 km to the west after excavations began in 1966, is seen in the background.

Column, View near Base694 viewsIt took three shots to capture this column in adequate detail. This is the section nearest the base. I don't know the identity of the figure depicted here; my guess is that it's a public official performing a sacrifice to Artemis.

Optical Delusion694 viewsAt first glance it appears that Michelle is using some weird kind of periscope here to shoot the eclipse. On closer inspection, it's just a regular camera shot against the background of a black pole sticking up out of the sand in back. Meanwhile, it appears as if Chuck Mattox is trying to stamp on some noxious insect about to pounce on the girl in front.
BlueMosque-20060330-3169.jpg
Illumination694 viewsFlash photography is not permitted in the Blue Mosque. Even though artificial lighting supplements the natural light admitted through the stained-glass windows, it was still too dim for our cameras inside the mosque, so many of our pictures came out blurry.

Two Exceptional Plates694 viewsThese seemed to be a cut above many of the others.
AyaSophia-20060401-1128.jpg
Light Show694 viewsI have no idea how Sandie managed to shoot this, but I think it's cool.
AyaSophia-20060401-3503.jpg
Grave of Enrico Dandolo694 viewsDoge of Venice and leader of the Crusader forces that sacked Constantinople in 1204. In the southern gallery. He died during the expedition and was buried in Aya Sophia.

Strapping into the MMU693 viewsA somewhat apprehensive JLF is starting to wonder if this is really a good idea.
Aphrodisias-20060326-0432.jpg
The Headless Roman693 viewsSince he doesn't have a head, I can't tell who this is a statue of - most likely guess would be Octavian.
Kursunlu-20060328-0633.jpg
Camel Rides693 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.

The Beach at Totality693 viewsLooking out over the Mediterranean. Again, without a tripod Sandie's camera was subject to shaking, hence the blurred picture.
