Beautiful Survivor
"This theater should be restored and used for performances," the great man said when he saw it in the 1930s.
Kemal Atatürk valued Turkey's historic patrimony and gave many orders for restoration. In the case of Aspendos, the result was one of the best-preserved classical theaters on the Mediterranean.
The foundations of the settlement at Aspendos, between Antalya and Alanya, go back to Hittite times (800 BC), but the theater was built on orders of another great leader, Roman emperor-philosopher Marcus Aurelius, in the 2nd century AD.
Nice that we have this great work of art and architecture to admire and enjoy even today, thousands of years later. |

A most impressive site, and well captured - that's a small aperture and long exposure, but you've done well with keeping it steady and the DOF is excellent.
May I suggest just a tiny anticlockwise rotation to make the walls vertical?
Good work though.

Excellent picture, congratulations, nice shot

Nice photo of some classical architecture.
I like the curves and the perspective you have captured here.

Hypnothic effect. Well done.
