Following the World Cup Final staged in Ahlat, on the shores of Lake Van, Turkey defeated Canada 3-2. The winning eleven (or 8...) is pictured at left. Many of the Turkish goals were offside, and although Canada (ummm... me... It was me against them) complained bitterly, the referee failed to change his decision.
An old mosque, one of a billion and a half I have seen in my life. This time, it's on a hill in Divriği, with a great view to the rocky mountains leading that bisect Northeastern Turkey.
Rust coloured and lichen encrusted tombstones in Ahlat (just before the World Cup Final). Tombs date from...... I don't know, they're Selçuk, and they're very old.
Zeynel Türbesi in Hasankeyf.... Hasankeyf is slated to be submerged beneath the waters of the coming GAP Project dam. If you want to see it..... now's your chance
The remains of the bridge that once spanned the Tigris River in Hasankeyf. The far pylon is now someone's house
