The first photo that I am sharing has been digitally filtered with a few "special effects" to bring out the colours, specifically the blue sky and green grassland. I also made some further adjustments to the overall composition with a very clever "Oil Paint" filter which I think looks kinda cool on this image...👁
Now continuing on with my Travel Photography memories of visiting the ancient Ephesus in Turkey...
Way back in time to around 500 BC there existed a civilization living in the spectacular countryside of Turkey ~ A place known as Ephesus, which can still be easily visited, even today.
So I would like to share some of my many original photos of the "Ruins of Ephesus" that I have not posted in a long time. They are all from a once discovered Greek and Roman culture. This is the most amazing place to visit deep in the beautiful green Turkish countryside. Please enjoy my photos of a once complete Ancient City.
All Photos below were shot with my Sony DSC-W17 Camera 📷
Behold the Ancient Ruins of Ephesus
If you are shown around by a local tour guide, you will no doubt be taken to the remains of the Hospital building. The Stone carved Tablets just outside it denoted that you had arrived at a Hospital. If you look closely at the photograph below (taken by me) you will notice the very familiar snake design (known as "God Asclepios") that is still used today. Fascinating that this exact same symbolism dates back that far in our Medical History. The other photo that I shot in the ruins of Ephesus in Turkey depicts an ancient "sign post" of a Roman style Chemist Shop (which to me also looks very familiar in it's design).
