Curtain Call654 viewsJerry & Sandie take a break for a celebratory snapshot after third contact.

Serving Dishes and Utensils654 viewsGracing the dining table in the harem.

South Agora651 viewsLooking toward the South Agora and the Baths of Hadrian; the Amphitheater is off to the right.

Silver and China650 viewsElegant silver vessels and china demi-tasses, suitable for tea or coffee.

Lioness Suckling Cubs647 viewsLions are always a favorite symbol of royalty, and the Ottomans were no exception.

Here's my handle643 viewsThe potter carefully attaches the handle.

Coals to Newcastle643 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.

Eat at Yusuf's641 viewsThis marble tile with its carving of an eel and a knife was the equivalent of a sign identifying a restaurant, in an era when few people could read.

Tile Mosaic641 viewsI don't know whether there is a specific artistic term that applies to this type of composite-tile design, so I just call it a "tile mosaic." Regardless, I found this a particularly pleasing example of the genre.

Hearts of Oak639 viewsSuperstructures of finely crafted, highly-polished wood were typical of both motor and sail yachts in this marina.

Chandeliers639 viewsSupposedly ostrich eggs were put on the chandelirs to keep them free of cobwebs by repelling spiders. I don't know why ostrich eggs would repel spiders, and I didn't see any myself. I suspect that nowadays the cobwebs are taken care of by the cleaning crew.

Sandie strolling by the Sebasteion636 viewsThe Sebasteion was jointly dedicated to Augustus and the goddess Aphrodite. The Emperor Augustus, as nephew and adopted son of Julius Caesar, was a member of the Julian family, which claimed descent from the goddess Venus, the Roman name for Aphrodite.
