Photographer’s Note

A scene from Magosa, in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. (A republic apparently which Trek Earth is still unaware of - Cyprus is divided into 2 separate countries ...)

This photo has pieces from many historical periods of this lovely island. Roman sarchophage carried from the ruins of Salamis; Late Roman - Early Byzantine gate facade on the left; Venetian walls on the left; ruins of a Crusader - Lascarid church on the right; an Ottoman fountain in the middle; British custom of driving on the "wrong" side of the road :) ; and modern asphalt and cement road surfaces... :) :) :)

Cyprus is a place well worth visiting.
