Ankara 2006 09 0305.jpg

Well, here are some views. I am afraid I just took a number of shots, not knowing what they represent. If someone spots some special buildings or parts of town, please indicate so in the comment, so I can add that to the text.

Looking Northwest from Atakule. Anýtkabir (Atatürk's Mausoleum) and the hill it is built on (Anýttepe) is in the centre. Until recently erecting buildings higher than 5 stories in the vicinity of Anýtkabir was forbidden, to (symbolically) provide Atatürk a clear view of all Ankara (and vice-versa). Notice how this rule is no longer enforced.
