Turkey - Pic Heavy
Edited on Sat Sep-26-09 02:00 PM by bikebloke
Some random pics from my trip.

Blue Mosque


Galacta Bridge


Sneaky Sniper Shot of Fisherman
Galalcta Bridge

Town of Goreme

Rose Valley, Cappadocia


View down from Selime Monastary - early christo-nutters carved monostaries into rocks and underground in this region.


Theater at Termessos - Colin Farrell with highlights - I mean Alexander the Great couldn't conquer this city, so he moved on.


Ramadan - Waiting for sunset...and FOOD


Butterfly Valley on the Aegean (taken from George House pension) - The climb down takes 45 minutes, with ropes in places. You have to be careful not to jigger your knees or tumble off into the void.

5. That's what I thought.
It really filled out Hellenistic and Roman histories for me.

9. My dear bikebloke!
What a beautiful place!

The ancient buildings and the modern views make for quite a contrast...

Thanks for sharing!
