Siirt House visit 1554

view map

I saw a nice old house and took its picture, then noticed a door to an inner court was opened and peek in. Kids spotted me, their mother joined them (not in the pictures), and soon I was having tea with this kind family.

They explained the house was cool in summer and nicely hot in winter, partly due to its structure. The room reminded me a bit of the houses one sees in Harran.

I think the question is curious. The picture was taken: 19-Sep-2005 12:10:15 by me. I indicate in my Profile I took all pictures on my site myself. As a matter of fact, if you'd just read what I write under the picture I would not have to answer.

It was definitely not taken in the 1550's because photography had not been invented. If it had been taken then, I can assure you all kids would have been dead.
