Hierapolis (sacret city), founded in the second century BC. by the king of Pergamon, Eumenes II, is unique for its location on the top of a hill made of travertine cascades breaking the sun into!! The ancient city which is a World Heritage Site, still serves as a healing center with its thermal water flowing forever...and makes a good candidate for hdr : )
You may need to scroll a bit for the relatively longer images. 1. ![]() 2. ![]() 3. ![]() 4. I believe you will enjoy swimming around Roman columns in the natural hot spa pool on a winter day : ) The picture below was also a three shot hdr taken with the polarisor filter on so as to eliminate the reflections to be able to show the depth of the pool. ![]() 5. Just caught the last rays of sun in the ancient theater overlooking the plain on the hill...One day is never enough to do justice there! ![]() Enjoy : ) Bahadir Last edited by bahadir; Mar 20, 2010 at 9:25 PM. |

Absolutely amazing shots. The last, over the theater, is especially good. But I really like sunsets and great HDR.
