Selçuk Ayasoluk Tepesi, Ephesos Basilica of St. John - traditional tomb of the Apostle

Andreas thanks for providing link to my photo. It was pleasure for me to see the same columns and environment from 13 years ago in your picture. Best regards, Volkan

Hi Volkan,

You're welcome! Hopefully this harassed nobody ...

((-: Andreas :-))

Volkan YUKSEL, on December 6, 2007, said:

Andreas, your picture and my picture brings up another interesting point. Perhaps as you were trying to indicate the fact that I stepped on your foot prints even though it was 13 years later :) So at this time to best of our knowledge, Kamaly is holding the record for the shortest time and you are holding the longest time duration for coordinate sharing with me :) Cheers, Volkan

Hi Volkan,

Oh no, I don't wanted to act that I was here before you did ... I think this would certainly not be true (short distance Izmir - Selcuk). I just wanted to show some small changes between all the years. Anyway 2D and 3D shots cannot be compared. This was not my intension - just forget it.

But Volkan your comment is most creative, hence why I like spend time "talking" to you :-))

Cheers, Andreas

Andreas, I was just kidding. I hope you're having great time in Alanya. Looking forward to see you back with new photos. Best wishes, Volkan

Hı Volkan, ok.ok.

greetıngs from your homelands.

Alanya'dan selamlar, Andreas

Volkan YUKSEL, on December 18, 2007, said:

Greetings Andreas, good to hear back from you :) I hope your trip is fulfilling your expectations and beyond.

Have you been to Dim Magarasi (Dim Cave) Mr. Yilmaz Guner is expert Panoramio photographer from there. May be you can meet him as well before leaving Alanya.

Best wishes, Volkan

Andreas Czieborowski, on December 19, 2007, said:

Volkan. that's very ınterestıng. I'll go to Dım Çay and Mağarası at Satutday. Maybe I can meet Yılmaz Güner there for small talks around Panoramıo.

Best wıshes to the cold :) Chıcago from the sunny Alanya, Andreas

Volkan YUKSEL, on December 19, 2007, said:

Andreas I hope you get to meet Yilmaz Bey. Enjoy the visit and do some 3D shots for me :) Cheers, Volkan

Volkan YUKSEL, on December 20, 2007, said:

Andreas,

Mr. Guner indicated that he won't be in Alanya to meet you this weekend because he is in Ankara at the moment. However, he said that the manager of the company Murat Bey has been informed about you. So, when you there you can introduce yourself and find Murat Bey. I hope you'd have good time :) Best wishes, Volkan

Andreas Czieborowski, on December 21, 2007, said:

Thank!s Volkan for informıng me. İf Mr. Murat Bey ıs there I'll meet hım tomorow and will let wıshes for Mr. Yilmaz Güner from us.

Alanya'dan sevgiler selamlar, Andreas

Volkan YUKSEL, on December 22, 2007, said:

OK Andreas, have fun :) May be I can go there someday too :)

Andreas Czieborowski, on December 22, 2007, said:

Good mornıng Volkan,

today I've met Murat bey - Mr. Murat Ünal, General Manager of the DİM Mağarası. He is a very smart person, engıneer in geology and he speeks german! He invıted us (Dieter and me) for Turkısh Çay and the cave vısıt for free. I let some words on a small paper (I'm not so happy about that) for Mr. Yılmaz Güner as greetıngs from you and me. We also vısıted some vıllages up ın the mountaıns by good weather and we saw the beautıful landscape, the hıgher mountaıns are now covered wıth snow.

Volkan, unfortunately I've to leave tomorrow :-((

Greetıngs from Murat bey and my best wıshes to Chıcago,

Andreas (still in Turkey) :-))

Volkan YUKSEL, on December 22, 2007, said:

Goodevening Andreas :)

I am so happy to hear that you and Dieter had great time meeting Murat Bey. I am sure Murat Bey provided some behind the scenes details that only VIP's would know :) I would like to personally thank to him for his efforts to make your visit to Dim Magarasi a great experience. I am thankful to you for writing to Mr. Guner.

I hope we can repeat this in the future with more Pnoramio photographers.

Before leaving TR, try a good Kelle-Paca soup with lots of vinegar, lemon juice and garlic for me in a nice restaurant If you didn't do before :)

Have a safe trip back home.

Cheers, Volkan

Andreas Czieborowski, on December 24, 2007, said:

Hi Volkan,

it was great and a good experience to met someone who was found by Panoramio's relationship. Thank you again for connecting me. I totally agree your hope to repeat such meetings. I had also the impression that Mr. Murat Ünal was informed and expected us, so we had been first time real VIP's :-))

Volkan. sorry for not eating Kelle-Paca soup - but I swear I'll do at next TR visit.

Cheers and Selam, Andreas

Volkan YUKSEL, on December 24, 2007, said:

Hello Andreas,

May be we can take care of the Kelle-Paca in Izmir with other Panoramions from there :)

Looking forward to see your pictures. Cheers, Volkan

Andreas Czieborowski, on December 24, 2007, said:

Volkan, very good idea.

Eating the soup and drinking a glas of red wine in Izmir, if Dionysos will be still with me :-))

Cheers, Andreas
