Van


As we came through more mountain country to Van, I
realised the tour was close to over, we had 4 nights here, taking
shorter trips in different directions each day.
So it slowed down a little, but I sort of speeded up,
wanting to see every thing around me..



always nice to see quiet picnics under the trees, I also took
many shots of the small isolated houses in large landscapes.
Van was busy with a unique event about to happen, the
Armenian church on Akdamar island, in the lake, was to
have the first service in almost 100 years, many people
including Armenians, were expected.
On the day it was fewer, unfortunately; there is still a lot
of strong feelings on the subject.

we spent a day with the interesting journalist who wrote this
