Shots from recent trip to Cyprus:

Troodos mountains:









Famagusta, the abandoned city since the Turkish invasion. They still don't allow tourists in and you're not supposed to take photos of it all... Famagusta info





Nicosia, the only divided capital city on earth. These are of the UN buffer zone between the greek part and the turkish part. Note gratuitous take-a-photo-of-the-sign-that-says-no-photos-photo. Nicosia




Whole set

I really dig this one

Cool. What are you shooting with?

what's with the no-photo zones?

I really like that first one.

The tree in #2 looks like it ought to have goats in it!

Thanks guys (and gal)!

Mingus -- I am shooting with a Canon Powershot Pro1. SLR's scare me.

Ari-- Jesus, that Michael Totten fella is badass(/stupid). I thought I was a renegade taking photos of it from miles off... the armed turkish guards put me off of getting any closer.

I was also surprised there were no goats in those trees, they must've been hiding. I even put a couple dead baby carcasses up there to bait them, but they didn't come out. Maybe next time.

sweet pics man.

cyprus is a crazy place. i've never been anywhere where animal death is nestled so closely to tourism.

man those were mad times.....
