ISTANBUL – Around Yeni Cami, Eminönü As I promised to a Turkish friend of mine, I want to add a comment to this photo. / Even if Turkey usually looks “exotic” to a Western visitor, this country is also a very complex reality where everything changes from a place to another, even in the same city. So in Istanbul you can find many scarfed women as well as many modern girls wearing the same clothes of their similars in the rest of Europe, USA or Australia. Mini skirts are certainly less than scarfs, but they are there too :) And more in general, a metropolis like Istanbul summarize all the different souls of Turkey and people change as you move from a place to another. / So even if it’s normal that whatever is foreign to our habits and customs looks exotic and so interesting, Turkey is not only scarfed women, bazars and minarets that most of photographic reportage by any tourist and many professionals show you. / Anyway, I find this image quite representative of a few things: / for what I know, most of boys are dressed up like that in celebration of their circumcision, that is something traditional even more than religious. / And his mother is dressed typically as that part of Turkish women that consider themselves pious: / Islamic veil (but keep in mind that simple foulards are also very popular and their use comes from the tradition rather than from religion) and above all, very long dress or coat down to the feet. / ______________________ Click here for other photos from my Turkey 1st series Links to my other works: / NATURE / PORTRAITS / TRAVELLING / VARIOUS

Some things you can hardly believe when you see them. I went to school as a structural engineer, and I have to say I’m amazed this house is standing. I went to some pains to make sure the image is vertical, and it’s definitely pretty close. So yes, that lamppost on the left really is leaning like that. This is just a scene captured while on the back streets of Nallihan in central Anatolia. Sometimes I feel like every door I see has a story behind it worth telling. If you look closely there’s a padlock keeping this one shut. What we’ll probably never know is … why?

I saw this painting hanging in a little Turkish restaurant in Menlo Park, CA that is relatively unknown. I thought it was out of place (near the restroom). I appreciated it and took this shot to make it last longer (Oh, I accented it with more gold highlights and repaired some of the wear & tear, too). :)

This door always stands out to me when I visit the old fortress in the historic center of Ankara, and I finally gave in and decided to make it a picture. Flaking paint in blue, yellow and red on an abandoned house badly in need of renovation frame a window reflection of the restored Ottoman-era houses opposite.

Background Information: / Side is one of the best-known classical sites in Turkey, and was an ancient harbour whose name meant pomegranate. Side is a resort town on the southern coast of Turkey, near the villages of Manavgat and Selimiye, 75 km from Antalya) in the province of Antalya. It is located on the eastern part of the Pamphylian coast, which lies about 20 km east of the mouth of the Eurymedon River. Alexander the Great occupied Side without a struggle in 333 BC. Alexander left only a single garrison behind to occupy the city. This occupation, in turn, introduced the people of Side to Hellenistic culture of the Greek Civilization, which flourished from the fourth century to the first century BC. After Alexander’s death, Side fell under the control of one of Alexander’s generals, Ptolemy I Soter, who declared himself king of Egypt in 305 BC. The Ptolemaic dynasty controlled Side until it was captured by the Seleucid Empire in the second century BC. Yet, despite these occupations, in the following years of the second century BC, Side managed to preserve some autonomy, grew prosperous, and became an important cultural center. Grass /

Shrapnel Valley (also known as Shrapnel Gully) was often a safer way to the front lines during the Gallipoli Campaign although nearly always under heavy Turkish Army bombardment; hence the name. The Cemetery was laid out near the exit to the beach from the valley, south of Anzac Cove in early May 1915. After Lone Pine it is the largest battlefield cemetery in the old Anzac sector. Despite being some 1,000 yards (914 metres) from the Turkish lines the cemetery was constantly exposed to enemy sniper fire. On 9 May 1915, Chaplain Ernest Merrington wrote of his visit there: “The bullets often fell thickly around our little parties of workers on this site which has become forever sacred to Australians and New Zealanders … I was down there by myself at dawn, and found the fallen men laid side by side ready for internment. For hours I worked, laying the bodies in the graves, with no assistance except for a few men of a fatigue party making a track near by. I placed the identity discs and personal effects at the head of each grave. I counted 42 Australians and 10 Turks. The sun arose over the eastern hill revealing the awesome scene around me, of death, nobility, valour and sacrifice.” [AWM 1DRL/496 Chaplain Ernest Northcote Merrington, 1st Light Horse Regiment.] Reverend Walter Dexter organised working parties to build a low rock wall around part of the cemetery to protect it from flooding winter rains and obtained paint and other materials to ensure the neat appearance of the graves. Today Shrapnel Valley with its distinctive Judas tree is considered to be amongst the most beautiful on the peninsula. Largely completed during the Gallipoli campaign, a small number of graves were incorporated into the cemetery after the war. Of the 683 burials in the cemetery, 527 are Australians, 56 New Zealanders, 28 British and 72 unknowns. Special Memorials commemorate 23 men believed to be buried here.

A heritage listed building situated in Mount Wilson, a place of beautiful rainforest and enticing gardens. This unique building is situated within the Wynstay Estate at the end of The Avenue, Mount Wilson. It was the first property to be established in Mount Wilson, as early as 1875, by Mr Richard Wynne who established the Wynne Landscape & Sculpture Prize in 1895. The building was in use for a few years for its initial purpose, as a Turkish Bath, but now partly restored is a very stylish building that features arched windows of stained and hand painted glass. The exterior features polychrome brickwork, Italianate decoration and an elaborate turret with cast iron finials and roof decoration The Turkish Bath is an example of the Federation Free Classical style with an infusion of Italianate stylising. The bricks were made by Wynne. The building is in good condition and retains a substantial proportion of original fabric and integrity. Recent research indicates the Turkish Bath house was built (well) before 1890 for use by Richard Wynne’s wife Mary Anne, who had fallen into ill health and whose doctors had prescribed a course of Turkish baths. Mrs Wynne died in July 1889 of abdominal cancer (Previously it was assumed to have been built c1892). Surviving Turkish Bath Houses are extremely rare in Australia – Dunmore station in Western Victoria has one made of basalt, c1866 (Lewis, undated). Wynne’s inventory of 1893 recorded the existence of the Turkish Bath, a house known as Wynstay and other buildings on the estate – unfortunately this 1893 inventory referred has never been sighted since. In 1893 drawings for a ‘Turkish Bath in the Italianate style’ were included in ‘The Settlement of Mt Wilson’ by Fraser, James & Mack. There is some doubt about the drawings of the Turkish Bath in that thesis. They were not drawn by architect Earnest H.Bonney but more likely by the authors. Recent research indicates the Turkish Bath House was built (well) before 1890 – probably in the mid 1880s for use by Richard’s wife Mary Anne, who had fallen into ill health and whose doctors had prescribed a course of Turkish baths. Mrs Wynne died in July 1889 of abdominal cancer (Design 5 Architects, 1999). / NSW Heritage Register=: Equipment : Nikon D300 Sigma 10-20mm lens / Technique: HDR 5Bracketted Exposures, Photomatix

Ephesus (Ancient Greek Ἔφεσος, Turkish Efes) was an ancient Greek city on the west coast of Anatolia, near present-day Selçuk, Izmir Province, Turkey. It was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League during the Classical Greek era. In the Roman period, it was for many years the second largest city of the Roman Empire; ranking behind Rome, the empire’s capital. Ephesus had a population of more than 250,000 in the 1st century BC, which also made it the second largest city in the world. In the centre of the ruined city, to the right of the Celsus Library, is the Gate of Augustus, also called the Gate of Mazaeus and Mithridates. Built in 40 A.D by the slaves Mazeus and Mythridates for their emperor, Augustus, who gave them their freedom. The gate with three vaulted passage ways leads into the 110-metre square commercial agora where food and craftwork items were sold. The monumental gate, dedicated to the honor of the Emperor Augustus, his wife and son-in-law, was apparently a favorite place for Roman ne’erdo-wells to relieve themselves, as an informal inscription curses `those who piss here’. The front side of the vault facing the Celsus Library is made of black marble, while the other side is white. A Latin inscription with inlaid letters made of bronze is still visible on one side of the structure. Part of the inscription states: “From the Emperor Caesar Augustus, the son of the god, the greatest of the priests, who was consul twelve and tribune twenty times; and the wife of August Livia; the son of Lucus, Marc Agrippa who was consul three times, Emperor, and tribune six times; and the daughter of Julio Caesar Augustus, Mazeus and Mythridates to their master and the people.” The small area in front of the gate was used as an auditorium. The steps around the gate, in front of the library and the round pedestal were used as seats. In Byzantine Period, the walls in the small area were built when the city walls were reduced in length.
