A high-contrast look here of these fabulous pillars. Am I right in thinking we are looking into water here? Well captured, Herb

Hi Herb,

Thank you so much for your quick visit, and appreciation. I have added a link in the description which explains, but you are dead right, it is water.
I am pleased that you enjoyed it.

My Dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for the words, and for planning this wonderful surprise for me. I had not seen it in the guide book, so it was only when we went down the stairs, and my eyes adjusted to the half light, that the beauty came before me!!!

Love Peter
