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.

Nikon D2x
1/100s f/8.0 at 102.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

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.
