2024 Turkey: Driving To Istanbul

 The next day after Ankara, it was time to head back to Istanbul and eventually home.


The scenery began to change - not surprisingly, as we were leaving the Anatolian plateau and heading back for the coast.

    All these photos and I've not seen any wind turbines anywhere. Desert looks interesting TB.

    1. Nylon12, there were a few that I recall, but nothing like you will see in places like parts of West Texas or Northern California or even outside of LA toward Palm Springs. Also, no evidence of them on any coastline that we saw (again, unlike the U.S.).

    1. Me too Ed! I also enjoy doing in other parts of the country, especially older cemeteries. So different from now.
