A Few More Photos from Mount Nemrut (Nemrut Dağı)

Who says every post has to be a long-winded rant? Here’s a few pic­tures I took on top of a moun­tain when we were in Turkey!

The slightly mad King who had this place con­struc­ted had statues made rep­res­ent­ing the major gods, his brethren, and then placed his own statue among them, of course. This one is one of the gods.

It really is a strange place. The head on the left is the King

Tourists throng this place at sunset and sunrise, even though it’s three hours from civil­iz­a­tion, and that means doing crazy things like getting up at 2 am. We were lucky because we stayed on the moun­tain; we got to sleep in till 4 am!

The little build­ing was the hotel we stayed in on top of the moun­tain. The pyr­am­idal shape on the horizon is the manmade pile of rubble that crowns the peak.

    As always, great photos. I truly do envy the things you are experiencing,seeing..tasting..hearing. At times it has to be magical.

    Take care, play safe.

    Love...Mom

    Hi Donna. I’ve written an e-mail to your g-mail account. Please check it when you get a chance. It’s about our Persian carpets down­stairs in your storage space. Thanks a bunch! Love you — Laura–
