Beautiful - What an amazing view! The ancients certainly knew what they were doing when they chose the sites for their settlements. In so many, many ways they were ahead of what we are doing, even today.
Fantastic irrigation systems and water storage techniques. The mathematical and engineering skills to build vast temples, aqueducts, thermal heating and theatres for over 50000 people, with acoustics so that the audience on the back rows could still hear the actors on the stage over 100 metres away. Can you imagine any of the rubbish that we are building nowadays to be still standing in 3000 years time? I wouldn't give some of it 30 years.
In a way it's sad that most people don't go and visit places like Kadyanda, or Tlos, but then again these beautiful, tranquil places are best left free from the uneducated, unappreciative hordes.
Lovely photo Tel - Do you have any more, or similar?
