Below: Published Images# 105-124: Avalon Publishing Group published 20 of my images in the Moon Turkey Handbook (external link) by Jessica Tamturk, 2008 or 2009, such as the following examples -- see more on my Republic of Turkey page:
Left:
The Library of
Celsus, built 114 CE at Ephesus (in present-day Republic of
Turkey), was named in honor of
a Roman governor of Asia Minor (the area
known as Anatolia in Greek). This is one of my 20 images published in the Moon Turkey Handbook by Jessica Tamturk, to be published 2008 or 2009 by Avalon Publishing Group.
Left: A
large stone head captures the warm rays of sunset on the West Terrace of Mount Nemrut, built by pre-Roman megalomaniac King Antiochus 64-38 BCE, in the Republic of
Turkey. This is one of my 20 images published in the Moon Turkey Handbook by Jessica Tamturk, to be published 2008 or 2009 by Avalon Publishing Group.
Below: This wild crocus flower is in
the Kaçkar Mountains (or Kackar) near Barhol village, which is
officially known as Altiparmak (or Altıparmak), in the Republic of
Turkey. This is one of my 20 images published in the Moon Turkey Handbook
by Jessica Tamturk, to be published 2008 or 2009 by Avalon Publishing Group.
Left: A
gulet passes a Byzantine castle at Kaleköy, or ancient Simena, in the
Republic of Turkey. Kaleköy can only be reached by sea, and its
Byzantine castle was built in the Middle Ages to fight the pirates
which nested in nearby Kekova Island. Kaleköy (literally "Castle's
village" in Turkish; called Simena in ancient Lycian) is a popular
yachting destination in the Antalya Province of
Turkey, located between Kaş and Kale, on the Mediterranean coast. A gulet is a two-masted wooden sailing vessel
traditionally from the Turkish Riviera (or the Turquoise Coast), and
today commonly serves as a tourist charter. This motor sailboat design,
varying in size from 14 to 35 meters, is also found throughout the
eastern Mediterranean Sea. This is one of my 20 images published in the Moon Turkey Handbook by Jessica Tamturk, to be published 2008 or 2009 by Avalon Publishing Group.
Below: This colorful old Christian
fresco ceiling is at Sumela Monastery, under restoration in this 1999
image. The 1000-year-old Monastery of the Virgin Mary at Sumela is
among the most impressive sights of Turkey's Black Sea coast. The
monastery clings to a cliff above a cool evergreen forest in Altindere
National Park. This is one of my 20 images published in the Moon Turkey Handbook
by Jessica Tamturk, to be published 2008 or 2009 by Avalon Publishing Group.
Below right: Two gulets anchor at
Phaselis, offshore of Mt. Olympos (2375 meters or
7792 feet elevation ; Turkish name Tahtalı Dağı). The area around Phaselis and Olympos Valley was one of the most beautiful on our coastal cruise of southwest Turkey. This is one of my 20 images published in the Moon Turkey Handbook (external link) by Jessica Tamturk, to be published 2008 or 2009 by Avalon Publishing Group.

News Pictures Service licensed this image for stories on the M/S
Explorer, which sank in 2007:
The Explorer, owned by Canadian travel company
G.A.P. Adventures, took
on water after hitting ice at 12:24 a.m. EST (0524 GMT) on Friday
November 23, 2007. 154 passengers and crew climbed into
lifeboats and drifted some six hours in calm waters. A Norwegian
passenger boat picked them up and took them to Chile's Antarctic
Eduardo Frei base. There they were fed, clothed, checked by a doctor,
and later flown to Punta Arenas, Chile. The ship sank
hours after the passengers and crew were evacuated.

On
the flanks of Mt.
Smolikas
(2637 meters / 8649 feet), the second highest mountain in Greece,
you
see an expansive view of the
Northern Pindos Mountains to
the southwest, including the
Timfi Massif and Mt. Gamila, in the Epiros Region. Although
rarely seen, wild bears and wolves
still roam Mount Smolikas, one of the wildest places left in Europe.
Rental cars, public buses and tours
can take you to this area of Zagoria from the local capital of
Ioannina.
People of every skill level can walk the wild trails,
scramble
or climb rocks in the rugged Northern Pindos Mountains. The
non-technical ascent of Mt. Smolikas requires a full day round
trip. Photographed May 23, 2001.
The following five images (A through E) were
published in Americas Magazine, "Bizarre Blooms of Baja"
article, April 2006 (the official magazine of the Organization of
American States):
(Click any image on this page to see more from the
area.)
#83/A. Left: Baja California, MEXICO:
The cardón cactus (Pachycereus pringlei) is the
world's largest cactus. American botanist, Cyrus Pringle, named the
species in Latin: ''pachy'' which means thick and ''cereus'' meaning
waxy. ''Cardo'' means ''thistle'' in Spanish. The cardón
is nearly endemic to the deserts of the Baja California peninsula. Some
of the largest cardones have been measured at nearly 21 meters (70
feet) high and weigh up to 25 tons. These very slow growing plants are
also extremely long-lived, and many specimens live well over 300
years.
#82/B. Below right: Baja
California, MEXICO: The
boojum or cirio (Fouquieria columnaris, synonym Idria
columnaris) is a bizarre-looking tree in the family Fouquieriaceae,
whose other members include the Ocotillos. It is nearly endemic to the
Baja California peninsula, with only a small population in the Sierra
Bacha of Sonora. A fifty-year-old specimen
might be a foot thick at its base, and less than five feet tall. It's
one
of the slowest growing plants in the world, at the rate of a foot every
ten years, which means a mature fifty-footer may be more than 500 years
old. An Arizona botanist, in 1922, applied the name boojum, after the
imaginary
"boojum" that inhabited "distant shores" in Lewis Carrol's poem Hunting
of the
Snark. The early Spaniards called it cirio, or candle, probably because
of its resemblance to the handmade tapers that decorated the altars in
the Jesuit mission churches. The flowers bloom in summer and
autumn; they occur in short racemes, and are creamy yellow with a honey
scent.
Above: #81/C. Baja California,
MEXICO:
Moisture from the Pacific Ocean condenses into standing-wave
clouds perched over the mountain spine of Baja California. These
stationary lens-shaped clouds add to the other-worldly atmosphere of
the surprisingly diverse desert ecosystem of Baja. (Click any
image on this page to see more from the area.)
Above: #80/D. One of the two types of "elephant tree"
in Baja California, MEXICO - I believe this one is a Bursera
microphylla. (Click any image on this page to see more from the
area.)
Above: #79/E. Anza-Borrego Desert
State Park, California: This coastal fishhook cactus (Mammillaria dioica) is a
member of the Ferocactus
family, meaning fierce cactus. It
also grows in Baja California, MEXICO.

Above: Tour boats moor here
at the active volcanic island of Nea Kameni,
where you see Santorini Island in the background, with the town of Fira perched on 700-foot-high
volcanic cliffs. The towns of Santorini have traditionally been built
atop the
cliffs to escape pirates and summer heat.
In 1646 BCE, this island (known in ancient
times as Thira) exploded in the world's largest volcanic eruption
reported in human history. In 1707 CE, lava started forming Nea
Kameni,
which erupted as recently as 1956 CE. Published in Sparks (February/March
2006), the newsletter for the Museum
of Science, Boston.
