TURKEY Photos - Anatolia, 2004, with Canon Elph

Turkey pictures - HISTORICAL ANATOLIA and SCENIC TURKEY - Travel photographs from the Road.

Birthplace of Abraham, St. Paul, Homer, Santa Claus (yes)

Photographs of old Anatolia in travelogue format with info, from a 26-day auto trip through Turkey in Oct. 2004, focusing on its historical sites.
Some will be used later in a PhotoDiary on my main pages putting the trip more in context. First, I have to correct gamma on most of these.
Also see MCampbell's more atmospheric photo series.

Dear Andrys, Iwas looking at your photos of Judy Frankel, my dear friend of blessed memory, when I clicked on your pictures of Turkey, as I am from Turkey. these are wonderful pictures of many places I have been to, and some I haven't. You have many of Efesus, but none of Izmir, my home town. Make sure you visit it next time. You are a wonderful photographer, and I am glad so many people wrote in appreciation of your pictures and of Turkey. I got to see it all because of Judy Frankel, today on the 5th anniversary of her passing. We miss her. Rachel

Very nice gallery and detailed stories that match your photos. If I go to any places you have been to, I will check out your site for information. You went to many places that I had been to in Turkey, so it is refreshing to see and read what another traveler has to say. Well done!

Photos of Turkey are my focus here, though the small cameras have minor video features, but please do contact Nacia below if you have good video from there.

Hello, I am a producer of a travel documentary and am looking for video footage of Istanbul, the city, the buildings, mosques etc. Do you by chance have any DV footage that you would be willing to license for use in a video program? If anyone else has it, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

I lived un Turkey for three years and loved every moment. It was wonderful to follow Alexander the Great, my researches are now incorporated in my book "...An Everlasting Renown" Alexander the Great, pub. Melrose Books.com.uk, in which I follow Alexander from birth to his death in Babylon and burial in Alexandria.
