[Zubeydah Jamilla al-Badawiyya]

A friend of mine recently returned from a trip to Turkey, and has very graciously allowed me to borrow a cd of photos, and a series of guidebooks from his trip.  There are some amazing images of a variety of topics, including:

- the baths at Pamukkale

- Istanbul: The obelisk of Theodosius, interior shots of the Sultanahmet mosque - its windows and dome, the Hagia Sofia including various mosaics and the dome interior, a throne presented to Sultan Ahmet by Nadir Sahin, a 'golden helmet', the Topkapi Dagger, and a replica of the Privy Lounge from the Topkapi Palace Museum. A view of the Old Harem, a ceramic panel from the Gate of Babylon from the museum, examples of faience, mosaics from the Kariye (St. Saviour in Chora) 

- Ephesus: frescos, statuary ('The Beautiful Artemis', Skolastica, Nike, Dionysos, Eros, Markus Aurelius, Zeus, Socrates) various images of the ruins, etc..

Please contact me off list if you're interested in any of these images.
