Istanbul Crowd

Istanbul is probably one of my favorite cities...

This street is near Taksim Square...I couldn't believe the number of people...

Inside The Aya Sophya

Photos do not do justice to this amazing church...I wish there were some way to capture the entire inside. I was limited to what my fisheye lens could capture. I was also not allowed to bring my tripod into the church, so I had to hand-hold all my photos I took inside. That made for some tricky exposures...This is a three shot HDR...

The Hills That Look Like...I Don't Know What...

These hills are actually rocks...but they look like big soft pillows or something...
Some of the strangest rocks I had ever seen...

The Library At Ephesus

We got to Ephesus late in the afternoon which ended up being a good thing as most of the tourists had already left leaving the park practically empty for us to explore...plus the light was really nice for photography.

My favorite building from what is left from Ephesus, was the library...
