In March of 2019 Lori and I flew to Istanbul, Turkey.
After spending several days exploring on our own we joined up with a Rick Steves tour. This tour started in Istanbul, but in the following weeks we visited a lot of Turkey, from Ankara to Cappadocia to the south and eventually to the west coast and Kusadasi.
After this we spent three nights in Santorini and then took a ferry to Naxos Island.
Seeing that the sunset was going to be great, I hiked down to the beach and set up my camera on a tripod to take the doorway of the Temple of Apollo with the sun setting behind.
The earth's rotation caused me to move my location several times
so that the setting sun would be in the right place.
This structure was built in the 6th century BC by the tyrant Lygdamis.
During this trip we had the pleasure of meeting Chris and Jenny, who live in Oregon.
We have remained great friends for many years after this trip and still travel together today.
