Umayyad Mosque | Damascus
Olympus OM-10 | Kodak Gold 200
Citadel | Aleppo, Syria
Olympus OM-10 | Fuji Superia 100
A young girl runs excitedly through Aleppo's beautiful citadel while cloaked relatives keep a close eye on her from the shadows.
Dead city | Aleppo region, Syria
Olympus OM-10 | Fuji Superia 100
There are more impressive "dead cities" (ghost towns) around Syria, but since I couldn't afford to go alone, I tagged along with a couple who wanted to see this one. The tortoise may have been the most interestin part.
Village kids | Syria
Olympus OM-10| Kodak Gold 200
Drove into a whole herd of animals during my tour of the Aleppo region. I was so charmed by this straggler group of small children with small horses.

Dark church | Goreme, Turkey
Olympus OM-10 | Kodak Gold 200
The most famous and best-preserved church in the Open-Air Museum, the Dark Church requires an additional 5YTL to enter...unless you are a woman traveling alone giving the guards a big smile.
Fresco | Goreme, Turkey
Olympus OM-10 | Kodak Gold 200
One of many gorgeous frescoed ceilings found in cave churches throughout Cappadocia. The largest concentration of these churches is in the Open-Air Museum near Goreme, a veritable wonderland of weird peaks and tufa homes.

Ihlara | Cappadocia, Turkey
Olympus OM-10 | Fuji Superia 200
Due to lagging people on our tour and a itinerary that I think should have been flipped, we were at Ihlara Gorge right before lunchtime. I don't think any of my pictures turned out particularly well in this light.
Kaymakli | Cappadocia, Turkey
Olympus OM-10 | Kodak Gold 200
Kaymakli is an extensive underground city, featuring wells, wine-presses, storage and livestock pens. During the numerous invasions of Anatolia, people would live here for months until it was safe to emerge.
Tufa peaks | Cappadocia, Turkey

Dawn | Nemrut Dagi, Turkey
Olympus OM-10 | Fuji Superia 200
Walking back to the bus after viewing the sunrise on Nemrut Dagi. For 5 in the morning, the crowd at the summit was impressive. This moment, when everyone straggled back to the parking lot at his or her own pace, was the only chance to feel the solitude of the mountain.
