Baghdad Pavilion660 viewsBult to celebrate the Ottoman conquest of Baghdad in 1638.

Rumelihisari - ("Rumelian Castle")660 viewsBuilt in 1451-52 as part of Sultan Mehmet II's plan of securing the Bosphorus in preparation for the conquest of Constantinople. The blue-striped white structure at the waterside, toward the center, is the modern Aşiyan lighthouse.

Sandie Takes a Poke660 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.

Checking into Space Camp Turkey659 viewsLocated in the Aegean Free Zone, Space Camp Turkey was the second institution of its kind to be established worldwide, the original being in Huntsville, Alabama. Its primary focus is to promote education in science by inspiring interest in space travel.

Roman Lamps659 viewsCandellariae, in various interesting shapes. I especially liked the one in the shape of a foot.

Stonework Close-up659 viewsIntricate stone carvings grace the walls of the theater.

Main Street Perge659 viewsPam Bloxham and Cherie Rabideaux inspect the remains of storefronts lining Main Street en route to the Nymphaeum, close to the Acropolis.

Optical Delusion659 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.

Courtyard of the Blue Mosque659 viewsThe court is as large as the mosque itself and is surrounded by a continuous vaulted arcade. The hexagonal structure in the center is a fountain.

Calligraphy659 viewsI greatly enjoy the elegant stylized Arabic script decorating these plates, although for all I know it may say something like "Death to Infidels" or "You are the illegitimate offspring of an unholy union between a donkey and a camel."

Dome of the Council Hall659 viewsThe Imperial Council building had three chambers, each crowned with a dome.

Southwestern Entrance Mosaic659 viewsDates from the reign of Emperor Basil II (976-1025). Depicts the Virgin Mary seated in the center with the Christ child on her lap, with Emperior Constantine on the right, presenting a model of the city of Constantinople, and Emperor Justinian on the left, presenting a model of Hagia Sophia.
