This photo was taken in 1968, in Iran, near the town of Maku, just across the border with Turkey. I was on my way East, a three-and-a-half months� travel which ended in Kathmandu, Nepal. I was hitchhiking with a companion from Brighton, England, whom I met in Munich, Germany. I am sitting on the hood of this Mercedes, that would take us to Teheran. From there I travelled by any means available through Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Nepal.
I live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and I run a small literary publishing firm.

It is such a pleasure to see sights like these of other parts of the world that I would not otherwise get to see. Thank you George for sharing. The sky and water are a vivid blue ...my favorite color.

How many travellers have viewed the city from this POV over the centuries? They all must have been in awe of Istanbul/Constatinople's greatness. Thanks fro this fine capture.
