Ishakpasa Palace

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| Ishak Pasa Saray constructions started in 1685 and were completed in 1784. It's one of the most beautiful places in the whole of Turkey. Do not miss the spectacular site of The Ishak Pasha Palace, only 6 km from Dogubayazit. Ishak Pasha, Ottoman governor of the province, constructed the palace in the 17th-century in a mixture of architectural styles. Nearby you can see a bas-relief of an Urartian king, and a rock tomb from the ninth century B.C. Near Dogubeyazit, Turkey's most scenic natural monument, Mount Agri rises to a height of 5137 meters. To see the place where it is thought that Noah's Ark came aground, go to Uzengili village, 25 km east of Dogubeyazit. Be sure to try the local dessert asure (Noah's pudding), believed to have first been made by Noah's wife from the last bits of food in the Ark. |

Hi Erol,
this is a more than interesting shot, it is also rare to see. The composition is excellent, there is some lack of sharpness. What kind of palace is it? There seems to be an Armenian-christian chapel to the left, a mosque to the right, an Ottoman entry portal. So what is it all about? Please explain in the note, even if it's in Turkish.
interesting shot but needs allot of sharpning. great note! next time am there ill go to this place. i would also recomend cropping out the sky to concentrate image
