Library of Ephesus. Close to my town, İzmir.

Ephesus. They were walking over marbles, because they were so rich. :lol:

This pic is not so clear because of protection glass. This is a Roman god, symbolizes fertility, origin of this god is ancient Egypt. Later Roman paganism affected Christianity a lot. As far as i can see many western people still praying to this. :lol:

This is sunset of my town. It's generally better, we see mix of green, pink, orange, blue and many other colors on the sky, though this one is not so bad too i think.

Theatre of ephesus, it's really bigger than it looks in the picture.

Fabulous pictures Turk. I would love to visit Turkey one day. So much old and diverse cultures, and diverse landscape too. Beaches, mountains, rivers.
All of those pics taken in the borders of my town Virgil and since i know you are a believer, those 2 pics are coming for you. :)
This pic is kinda blurry, because i secretly took it. It was banned to take pics :) This is sarcophagus of Mother Maria at her house which is on the top of a mountain, who came to Ephesus with St. John.

In the middle of pic, you see tomb of St. John. St. Jean's Knights had a fort here.

Stunning.
I agree. Please post more. I have been to Istanbul only (Not that there is anything wrong with Istanbul, it would take years to explore it more detail.), and I know how much more there is to see in turkey.Quote:

This is gate of Isabey Mosque. Which has classical style of Seljuk architecture.

This is ancient Ephesus, the building in the middle is city senate and i like those red flowers (corn-poppy?), which has no smell but nice looking.

This watchtower is symbol of my city.

Inner view of Roman senate, it has good acoustic, when you talk in the middle, people who's sitting are able to hear you even when they are far from center.

This was nice statue for me, but as you can see tourists didn't interest it at all, i think Europeans are so used to nudity.:lol:

This is Artemis, but Ephesian Artemis shouldn't mixed Greek Artemis. In ancient Greece, Artemis was god of hunting, purity and forests. But this Artemis symbolizes fertility and plenty.

This photo is really plain, i just took it to remember something. Roman toilets was really good. Even 2000 years later, while people have modern toilets in their houses they still like to sit on Roman toilets. :p

Great images Turk, thanks for posting them :)
I dunno about praying, I would bet on a lot of them thinking with the, um, significant detail of the statue! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...ilies/ROFL.gif Lots of historical pictures! Nice, Turk! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...ilies/Grin.gifQuote:

Photos of them will come later. I apologize for some of the flowers being out of focus. I didn't shoot them, the wife did, and I tried to correct them and probably hashed the job! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...lies/Hummm.gifQuote:
