Entertainment at the Anatolia Restaurant716 viewsA song and guitar duet by proprietor and parrot.
Hierapolis-20060327-0495.jpg
Unidentified Structure716 viewsI have no idea what this unique and bizarre edifice was called, but Sandie thought it was worth a picture, and so do I.
Hierapolis-20060327-0506.jpg
The Theater at Hieropolis716 viewsThe theater was undergoing restoration during the time we visited. You could still walk up the hill to see it, and some did - and shot some magnificent pictures - but Sandie and I did not, which I regret.
Perge-20060328-0716.jpg
View from the Acropolis716 viewsSandie climbed halfway up the hill above the Nymphaeum to get this stunning overview of the ancient city of Perge.
BlueMosque-20060330-3169.jpg
Illumination716 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.

Eclipse Glasses for Sale715 viewsTwo days before the eclipse, sales are ramping up.
Kursunlu-20060328-0643.jpg
Still another view of Kursunlu Falls715 viewsIt was hard to take a bad picture here.
Perge-20060328-3080.jpg
Column, View near Base715 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.
Perge-20060328-3095.jpg
Baths and Propylaeum715 viewsThe Propylaeum was a wrestling school or gymnasium. See the description on the placard in the next picture.

Two Exceptional Plates715 viewsThese seemed to be a cut above many of the others.
AyaSophia-20060401-1128.jpg
Light Show715 viewsI have no idea how Sandie managed to shoot this, but I think it's cool.
AyaSophia-20060401-3524.jpg
Lustration Urn715 viewsDavid Lindquist with his mascot bear Hero kneels next to one of two huge urns carved from single blocks of marble. They date from the Hellenistic era - 300 BC or so - but were brought here from Pergamon during the reign of Sultan Murad III (r. 1574-1595).
