Ankara 2006 09 0314.jpg

Well, here are some views. A regular commentator explained: This is looking South from Atakule. The white building to the left-mid of the foreground is the Constitutional Courthouse. The park to its opposite (in the bottom right) is the Constitutional Park and the little statue that can be seen symbolizes the Constitution (the number of "steps" on it being equal to the number of articles in the constitution.) In the background is Elmadaš (Apple Mountain), Ankara's most famous mountain and also a fine ski centre for those who can't afford Bolu and Uludağ. In between are the boring residential districts of Birlik (Unity), Yıldız (Star) and OR-AN (Central Anatolia), from left to right.
