Destination Eceabat, a photo from Canakkale, Marmara

Photographer's Note

To get to Gor蔒ada, take the boat from ぺnakkale to Eceabat, then make a few kilometers for a second boat from Kabatepe to Gokceada.

ぺnakkale is a city in Turkey, capital of the eponymous province, situated on the shores of the Dardanelles.

The city was founded by Mehmet II the Conqueror near the ancient city of Abydos. He built a fortress, which first took the name of Kale-i Sultani Kalessi Sultaniye or "Sultan's palace" before taking the name of Canakkale, literally "house of the pot" because of its shape. This fortress is also known as Castle of Asia versus Europe Castle (Kilitbahir) which faces it across the strait.

In this city were fighting bloody battles over the Dardanelles different. Thus do we find around many military graves. In the heart of National Park History of the Peninsula of Gallipoli, Canakkale owes its fame to the famous archaeological site of Troy and the remains of Assos, located nearby.

Canakkale has an airport.

Canakkale University has its University of ぺnakkale (in) (Turkish: ぺnakkale Onsekiz Mart 鈆iversitesi).

Hi Valerie, I like the parallelism of the bridge and the tow boats in the same direction. The late hour created a nice hue in the sky, as well. Good work, congratulations!

salut cher valerie
A great picture from my country. Fantastic sunset view and there is here a little bit melancholy that makes this picture more dimensional. Bravo ihsan

Salut Val廨ie,
Bon format de pr廥entation pour cette vue, bon 廦uilibre dans la photo m瘱e si le cargo pris un peu plus sur la droite donnerait peut 皻re encore plus d'廦uilibre � la composition, bonne capture de ce moment presque cr廧usculaire.

Bonjour Val廨ie
Arr皻 buffet en Turquie, cet arr皻 se prolonge trop, attention de ne pas abuser de Dolma.
Bizarre que tu ne publies plus.
Vue int廨essante avant l'heure bleue; je me demande si c'彋ait possible de photographier depuis le ponton; l'avant-plan aurait 彋� plus d嶲ag�.
