Eastern Turkey, May 2011
« on: January 09, 2012, 08:10:38 PM »
Last summer I posted one or 2 photos from a trip to eastern Turkey in May 2011. I had meant to post more but life happens. This was not an organized tour, 4 of us rented a car and drove around, almost everything is roadside botanizing. I've finally organized the files. I can't promise but I'll try to post each days highlights over the next few days. From Ankara we flew into Erzurum and stayed at the Palandoken Ski Lodge 15 km from the city center. The weather had been snow squalls and rain the previous 2 days but cleared this day and aside from daily afternoon thundershowers the weather for the trip was brilliant. This was probably the least interesting area we poked around in, but I'd have stayed just for the daily breakfast. I hope I have identified things correctly, please don't crucify me if somethings mislabeled. I think with the peas I may even have the wrong genera at times.
