Nice! Where is this located?

Visited some friends at their new property and had to cross this bridge. My truck and truck camper are 13.5 ft high. Made it across and back with no problems. But couldn’t make it to their place as I needed to go under I-90 to reach them. The overpass there was 9ft. Just another little adventure! Great shots!

Great movie! Too bad they don’t show it anymore. It was about baseball….nice shot bye the way! Cheers

Great shot!. I too took time to checkout the amazing acoustics of the theater by speaking from the floor to friends seated at the top. They heard me perfectly. We also watched „camel fights“, which was a big thing at the time (1991-93). And saw Diana Ross perform there as well.

Looks like the picture was taken from what‘s know as the Ancient Greek Agora based on the boardwalks. The Greek Agora is the only area with the raised boardwalks….looking at the site from Google Maps. Cheers

Nice! Been there several times when I was stationed at a USAF remote site from 91-93. Saw camel fights and Diana Ross did a special there. If I remember correctly the theater seated 24000! Have to say that Ephesus was way more interesting for me than the old city in Jerusalem. Just seeing for the first time a city that still had the carvings of the old gods…Zeus, Venus etc and Hercules..it was as if Homers Iliad and the Odyssey was staring back at me. The marble paved roads still had the ruts cut into then from all the carts and wagons from more than 2000 years ago…..AMAZING! Thanks again for the great pictures!

If I remember correctly, this paved street leads to the Greek theater from what used to be the harbor. The theater is behind the photographer. Ahead and to the right are the Harbor Baths. Just to the right of the photographer is the Theater Gymnasium. I was stationed at a remote USAF site a few hours drive from here. I’ve visited the site at least 5 times. Back then, 1991-1993, there were fewer signs, trees were much smaller, local businesses hadn’t encroached into the ruins. There were still tourists, especially in summer, but only about a third of what they get now. Best time to visit is in the Spring(Apr-May)and Fall (mid Sept-mid Oct). MUCH cooler as all that marble reflects the heat making it unbearable for a lot of folks. Cheers Retired USAF MSgt

I was stationed at a remote USAF site a few hours drive north of there back in 1991-1993. Been to the town many times. Don’t remember the sign being there but it could have been as we only went over to the pier for the restaurant and the castle. One of the biggest draws was “Beer Ally”. Basically an ally lined with back-to-back restaurants, disco’s and nightclubs. Shopping was OK except the prices were inflated to take advantage of the cruise line passengers. Same items in Izmir were 1/3 the price. Hotels were $7 a night including breakfast and dinner. 5 star hotels over on the beach were $20 a night. We were getting 3000TL (Turkish Lira) per dollar as the exchange rate (1991). By the time I left the rate was over 50000 to 1. I brought back a LOT of stuff!

Yes, the House of the Virgin Mary is only a short distance from Ephesus. I visited the site at Easter in 1992. Thousands of visitors had tied ribbons on all the trees. That and the clear blue sky coupled with the friendly Nun’s that oversee the site made for a perfect day. When I was there, the tomb of ST John was in a museum, but his church was a short distance away. Is was a ruin but we were able to walk through it. But it was in better shape than the Church of ST Nicholas which is in Myra TU. About a 6hr drive south along the Mediterranean Sea coast near the current city of Demre. So..YES, there is a Santa Claus! And he was a Turk!Or Greek! As the area was under Greek control back then….cheers

Visited there at least 5 times while stationed at a remote USAF site from 1991-1993. Not as touristy back then, but still a marvel to behold. Diana Ross performed at the amphitheater for a HBO special while I was there as well. While wandering around the ruins I came across a small pyramid on top of an octagonal shaped structure with a plaque in Turkish. Later learned it was probably the resting place of Cleopatras exiled sister Arsinoe IV. Who was exiled to the Temple of Artemis after the Battle of the Nile. She was then executed there by orders of Mark Anthony in 41BC at Cleopatra VII request. Ephesus is still a wonderful place to explore. A MUST on any visit to Turkey! Cheers

Nice. #3 is a black Fiat X-19, Italian. I owned one, a 1976 year model, from 76- 86. Wished I’d kept it! $4000 for a new mid-engine sports car…..Today you’ll only find a Lotus that’s affordable ($60k ish) with a mid-engine. All the other mid-engine cars are 6 figure’s or higher! Cheers

Nice! My wife and myself travel there every year. I was stationed at Ellsworth AFB in the late 70’s. It’s just east of Rapid City. Hope you managed a visit to CrazyHorse Memorial while you were there. They’ve come a long way since my time out there and it’s worth a separate visit on it’s own. I agree, the Blackhills are indeed beautiful. I too live live among forest. Mine are in Oregon, but I also lived north of Spokane WA. Each has its own unique qualities, but I really love the area of western SD and SE Wyoming. Safe travels…Ken

Nice! I attended a “LIST” or jousting tournament at the castle way back in 1984. Even met the Duke as he was wondering around the crowds. Back then he opened the castle for tours. I know they stopped those for a while but don’t know if they are giving them again. I hope so as there are a lot of treasures to be seen inside. Glad you had a great time! Cheers from the USA.

Nice shots! My wife and I visit every year. Met the artist, Ziolkowski, and his wife Ruth back in 1976. The carving was just an outline drawing with the hole under the arm cut through. They’ve never accepted any federal money and is funded only with donations. Today besides the mountain carving, there is a college on site, restaurant, gift shop and a very large Native American museum. It’s a worthwhile stop and will take a person about a full 8-12 hours to see it all. 2 times a year you can hike to the top for a donation of a couple of cans of food. MT Rushmore is 13 miles away and will take about 2 hours to see it all. For a size comparison, all of MT Rushmore will fit on just the head of CrazyHorse when complete. My advice to anyone visiting the area…see MT Rushmore first, then see CrazyHorse. You won’t be disappointed! Safe travels…..

First saw it in 1976. A large drawing with the hole cut through above what will be the horses mane. Only the artists shack was there. Now there is a college, restaurant, gift shop and a very large Indian museum with items donated from across the country. MT Rushmore you can see everything in a few hours, To see everything at CrazyHorse will take you all day…maybe 2. When finished all 4 figures of MT Rushmore will fit on just the head of CrazyHorse(for a size comparison). It’s a worthwhile stop if you’re in the area and if you arrive on one one of their special weekends you can hike to the top for the cost of 2 cans of food as a donation. I visit every year at least once.
