Many thanks, Luc and Luit ... Baba Dag is at an elevation of 1,969 metres (6,460 FT).  (It looks a little taller if you lie on your back, Luit).  ;D

Something for the puzzle thread then Cliff. Which picture is the right one?

In my case that would just look 5 FT higher  ;D

This shot might explain the viewpoint, Luit?   :D

The next few batches of images were all taken in the deserted 'ghost town' of Kayakoy - an amazing and hauntingly beautiful place to visit.  Some of the images feature plants and insects spotted in the isolated village.

Haunting photos, Cliff, a sad story of displacement and desertion in what sounds as if it was a perfect city to live from everyone's point of view  ;)

The "ghost town" photos are terribly poignant, aren't they?

It was a sad, beautiful and atmospheric place ... I will post the final twenty images from the 'ghost village' before moving on to happier locations in Olu Deniz.

Looks as if Clint Eastwood or Lee Van Cleef could appear at any moment from between the ruins...  ;D ;)

When I saw "ghost town" I was expecting some images of Rochdale but this one is very pretty ;D

Great pictures as usual Cliff.
