Hittite Relief - British Museum
A very dramatic Hittite relief. The craftsmanship is superb; a shame that the lower 2/3 has been overcarved with cuniform writing.
London Eye
The weather was very cooperative during my stay in London. This was taken during the first weekend of February and as you can see, it was clear and bright.
London - Parliament and Big Bend
Hittite relief
Hittite relief, Museum of Anatolian Civilization. Had the opportunity to visit this very fine museum in Ankara. The facility contained a very large number of paleolithic through Hittite and Assyrian artifacts. I will try to post more Hittite/Assyrian artifacts from both the Museum of Anatolian Civilization and the British Museum at a latter time. Link in title takes you to a website with more information on the museum.
Ankara
View out the hotel window, Ankara, February 2005. The city was suprisingly modern, and growing very rapidly.

Starfish & Anemones in Tidal Pool
Here is an image from Ruby Beach, Washington, from late July, 2004, taken nearby the stack in the previous image. I did not know that anenomes were common along the northwest coast, always assuming that they were tropical.
Long Time No Post
It has been a while, but I am back. I need to set up the laptop to post pictures (via Picasa.) More later, including some of the summer vacation pics previously promised, and some new pics from a recent trip to Turkey and the UK.
