I’ve decided I should get back to this gallery after a break of almost two years. I still have a lot of pictures from our first assignment to Turkey, 1996-2000, before I had a digital camera, although armed with my trusty Sony was easily able to post pictures online in other galleries during our second tour there, from 2003 to 2006 (and beyond due to my working for a newspaper in Istanbul).

This picture is from Izmir, Turkey’s third largest city, located on the Aegean Sea.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
