I recently had the privilege of heading to Turkey. Dianne had to work an event down on the Mediterranean out side of the town of Antalya.

Here are a few of the photos that I took.

Thanks for looking.

I really enjoyed my brief trip to Istanbul last year. The food was fantastic and we were treated very hospitably.

The sight of head scarf clad ladies rocking out at the concert, mobile phones held high was something to see!
 
I guess this means Turkey is now on my list. Looks like a great time!
 
Duke, I just got a chance to look through your whole gallery. Awesome documentation of your trip. :clap: I enjoyed them all.

We just returned from Italy and if nothing else, I've learned that American history is practically laughable in comparison to what they have over there.
 
Once again Duke,

You're one of the best photographer's on TWTEX. You have a very keen sense of selecting the subject and making the background content compelling.

Arabic architecture was so much more advanced and intricate than its European equivalent. I can almost see "Algebra" in its origins.
