Taken from a slit in the old walls of the Ankara citadel. This really is a slice of the city: At the bottom are some homes from the very old part of town, then some sort of '50s-ish architecture, then on to nicer/newer apartment blocks, then the presidential palace and grounds, and then the mountains that surround us.

And for my usual story that goes with my images: I was desperate to find something else for the challenge on my one free afternoon before it ended, and I knew there would be something interesting at the old citadel. Unfortunately, I had very slippery moccasin-type shoes on and literally couldn't make it up the steep slope, even with my husband helping me. So I took off my shoes and walked up this rocky path in my socks, and got a lot of strange stares in the process. But at least I made it to the top :-).
