Dogubayazit, the eastern-most part of Turkey, on the steps of mighty Ararat Mountain.

Ishak Pasha Saray, palace of a kurdish prince from 17th century, used to be very modern place (with running water in all of 365 rooms) until it was destroyed by the russian army during the Crimea war in the 19th century.

Although to see the great golden gate you should visit the Sankt Petersburg museum, it's still one of the most magical places in the whole Turkey, definitely worth going.

Beautiful composition, well framed, cand captured at a magical time of the day. The subject is a bit too dark, but the scenery and the atmosphere are spectacular.

Beautiful. Really good composition and you've got an overall quite good exposure and well balanced colours. Well done.

Mystical. Compelling. I've now been to nearly 100 countries, and thus have less enthusiasm for travelling (I'm tired!), but this shot makes me want to go there!

The opposition between the sharpness of the palace in the foreground and the colorful mist in the background gives all its originality to this picture.
Perfect composition, beautiful light.
I am enthusistic for this image, congrats, Antoni !

Splendid composition for a really wonderful view. Very well captured, you got this magical mood in a wonderful way. Congratulations Antoni !

Hi Antoni, looks like a fairytale, this palace. Looking out over the plain. Very well composed!

Lovely image with the palace in the foreground sharply defined while the background has an ethereal quality. I understand the haze is most likely the product of air pollution, but the effect photographically is quite lovely. This is very nice composition Antoni and fine note. Thanks for both.

... in the land of dreams. Fantastic pic. Light, composition, feeling going to legend of 1001 night.

Tres belle vue , le choix du cadrage est judicieux , les couleurs sont intéressantes , beau travail .

very very beautiful picture of the place Antoni...not only the palace but all the area...(my granddad lost his nose (frozen) in the Crimean War and he was the first example noted for a plastic surgery in Turkey...you reminded me of long tragical storires from my mom and my grandma...)...thanks..

Just fantastic. The view is incredible and you did great job to take it.

Nice composition Antoni. Nice colours and light balance. I also photographed an internal detail of the palace. You can see at http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Middle_East/Turkey/East_Anatolia/Agri/photo97498.htm. Thanks for the photo.

Witaj, bardzo piêkne i bardzo tajemnicze miejsce. ¦wietna fotografia. Pozdrawiam Artur

Great Composition, I really like the purplish colour which gives it a magical feel. What time of the day did you take it?

Antoni a wonderful picture in this evening light. The colours and contrasts work very well and the composition is excellent. I have added this to my theme where I have one of my own pics from this place and several from other contributors. This shot is probably the pick of the bunch.

Weird picture:))
Nice colors and great contrast with sharpness.
Congratulations!
Pinar

Antoni, great picture of a great place taken at perfect time. It is definately on my list of places to visit, so it is great to see your note. Well done. L.
