Ankara 2006 09 0307.jpg

Well, here are some views. I was informed by a regular commentator: Northwest from Atakule. The complex with green roof in the foreground is the National Assembly (or Parliament). The rear side is seen here. Surrounding the Parliament are Air Force, Navy, Gendarmerie and Army HQs and Battle Academy. A very small portion of Güvenpark (Kızılay) is seen in the right edge. The semi-pyramidal structure with a yellow banner is Atatürk Kültür Merkezi, an exhibition centre - also the place of military parades. The hill is sometimes mistaken for the Ankara fortress (Kale). It's not. Behind that hill to the left is the Esenboğa Airport.
