I do, i am playing.. :)
It is traditional for people to post things i hate in here. :rolleyes:

To annoy someone in a funny way is nice meant. It shows, that the other likes you. That`s my opinion.:)
But now the "Camel-Party" is over and I will go to bed. Have to work in a few hours and must get some sleep.

Nos Da friends of the CDR.

Night night, Sabine.

Yes, very nice, thanks!:)
Happily, there are NO camels in downtown New Orleans or in The French Quarter. I think there are some at the zoo, but we didn't go there. :)
Glad you had a nice time. :)
I will visit New Orleans one day.
it's in wifey's top 10 places to visit, too.

Yes, i am very serious.
The meat is lovely.
The only good camel is a cooked camel.

A few more postcards from me, this time from Hierapolis / Pamukkale.
IMG_58977.jpg

Hierapolis was considered a sacred city in the Antiquity. It has a vast necropolis in the north. Variety of architectural styles of the tombs suggest that the dead were brought here from various other areas for burial.

IMG_591611.jpg

This has to be one of the most beautiful burial places in the world: A tomb standing on a travertine.

IMG_592915.jpg

The city gate built during Byzantium. Behind it is 900-meter-long Frontius street, once with shops and basins for washing.

IMG_597427.jpg

Thermal water from underground made its way throughout the city along natural canals, these two ending in a thermal lake.

IMG_598428.jpg

The site of Plutonium, an alleged entrance to the underworld. Poisonous fumes and carbon dioxide from the underground to this day kill any bird flying into it.


IMG_600831.jpg

The magnificent Hierapolis theater towering over the city. Only the first of three levels of the stage have been restored.

IMG_601032.jpg

Dionysus and Pan - possibly my favourite piece in the museum, housed inside a relatively well-preserved Hierapolis Bath.

IMG_609749.jpg

This isn't snow. This is calcium carbonate, which gives Pamukkale its Turkish name - "the Cotton Castle". Most of these terraces were overflowing with thermal waters at one time. Today, there are a few natural pools at the top, open to the public.

All in all, this is the ancient city I would want to live in. Provided I was not a slave. Or a woman. :D
