Ankara 2006 09 0294.jpg

The Ata Kulesi, with a shopping mall at its foot. 125 Meters high. An elevator brings you to the top where you will be greeted by signs forbidding you to use a camera (movie or still), or binoculars. I wonder why (espionage, state security, in this time of Google Earth, gps and miniature cameras?). At any rate, if you go down one floor and spend some money on a drink you can take your pictures. I suppose the restaurant one floor up will provide the same service but did not try.

The shopping mall is well designed and I liked the way glass and metal were combined.
