This time full scene of Mt nemrut from east terace.

Nemrut Dag (Mt Nemrud) is a mountain measuring 2,150meters in height. It is located near the village of Karadut in Kahta county in the province of Adiyaman. Both side of Mountain have several giant heads of Antiochos, the goddess Kommagene, Zeus-Oromasdes (the Graeco-Persian sky-god and supreme deity, and also the largest-sized statue), Apollo-Mithras, and Herakles-Artagnes so they can see worlds the best sunrise and sunset.

Kings of the Kommagene dynasty from 80 B.C. to 72 A.D ruled Adiyaman and its vicinity. This kingdom, whose capital was Samosata (now called Samsat), was founded around 80 B.C. by Mithridates 1, father of Antiochos 1. The kingdom's independence came to an end with its defeat by Roman legions in the last of the Kommagene wars and it became part of the Roman province of Syria...

Hi Ugur,
I didn't know about this ancient place! Thank you for sharing this compositon with us. Great note.

Wow ... another mesmerising shot of this place. You've captured this with excellent symmetry, great saturation and sharpness and detail. That row of decaptitated statues tells a story in itself.

I would love to have seen a person or some other human element in the shot to get a sense of scale, here.
