Photos from Ankara and Salt Lake

View of Ankara, capital of Turkey, in the Anatolia Region
Anitkabir, the enormous hilltop mausoleum to Kemal Atatürk,  modern Turkey’s first president who declared Ankara the capital in 1923.   


Salt Lake neighboring Ankara. During summer the water evaporates and leaves a thick crust of salt on the surface.  Salt is extracted, refined and sold making it a big industry for small towns.

Very hard to scratch a title on the surface

Murat, our driver, and Orhan, our guide, during our 2 week Eastern Turkey tour, taking us for a walk on the Salt Lake.  Both are of Kurdish descent.
