ephesus
   
After stayin the
night in Selcuk
we went straight
to Ephesus
the next morning.

We tried to
avoid the heat
but it was
a scorcher!

I drank a
2 litre bottle
of water
in about 2
hours!
The open air Greek Theatre at Ephesus could seat 20,000 spectators. Carved directly into the hillside it has excellent acoustics. more >

acoustics
   
There was
quite a view
from the seats,
yet this was
only half
way up!
Even though we were quite high up at this point we could easily hear other tourists singing and pretending to mimic performances.

ionic pillar
   
I practically risked
my life to get
this shot!
precariously
perched on
the edge
of a rock.

plans of a
Greek Theatre
i drew back
in 1991.
