These first few pictures are taken from the roof of the new Astronomy building at the University of Antalya. | |
This is a mosque across the street. Most of the mosques I saw had minerets. I don't know why this one didn't. |
This is the view in the general direction of Bakirletepe. You can't actually see the mountain directly from down here, which is why there's a radio relay station half way up. Note the white peaks -- that snow all fell the night before. |
This is the view back towards town. Here you can see one of the ubiquitous minarets. |
Looking down from the roof across the university campus. You can see how new the building is -- they haven't finished the sidewalk. Also, if you look carefully, you can see the sea on the horizon. |
Here I am standing on the unfinished sidewalk in the previous picture, looking back at the building. The fellow is Prof. Zeki Aslan, the director of the facility. |
This is the truck with which we are about to drive up the mountain. |
Antalya from part way up. |

Again, Bakirletepe is to the right. |
Here's a closeup of Bakirletepe. Remember, there was no snow here the day before. |
Now we're starting to get above the snow line. |
This is a mosque in the ski village of Saklikent. |
