Ankara 2006 09 0306.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
1/125s f/8.0 at 102.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

North from Atakule. Crossing the foreground is the Atakule Boulevard, the former UN house, and the gardens on its side are those of the embassies of the USA, Germany and Egypt. Not in this frame but the Parliament is just to the left. The asymmetrical tall building is TÜBÝTAK (National Scientific Research Centre). Behind TÜBÝTAK is the Tunalý Hilmi street, a trendy place famous for its cafes and stores. The Kocatepe Mosque is in the centre.
