A slightly dated pier and a cloud?Originally Posted by Virgil
I'll see if I have the time to crank a few pictures through the scanner tomorrow. Today, I was busy sticking a new graphics card up the PCI port, and that also meant that I had to replace the power supply... Well, I'm done rewiring and setting up now, and dear me what a difference
Wohoooo....

Library of Ephesus. Close to my town, İzmir.
Ephesus. They were walking over marbles, because they were so rich.
A view from my beatiful city.
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.
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.
A view from a han.

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
In the middle of pic, you see tomb of St. John. St. Jean's Knights had a fort here.
those are amazing Turk
I wanna go there

Wonderful pictures, Turk! Everyone here has posted such nice pictures!
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
Hahaha, yes Turk I think you are right.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.
Those are very beautiful photos indeed. I think you have done your country's tourism industry a service by posting them!
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.

Thanks. I took those pics in a trip to Ephesus. Since stupid camera has limited memory i couldn't get so much pics, but here's few more.
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.
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.
I dunno about praying, I would bet on a lot of them thinking with the, um, significant detail of the statue!

Lots of historical pictures! Nice, Turk!
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Do you know how small these frogs are, Night? Let's just say the photos are more than life size. Now she has another named Steve, a red-eyed tree-frog and an Anole Lizard named Riddick. 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!See now I want a pet frog *sulk*
