In the image box below is a very large image of the Dardanelles as seen from the Dardanos Battery gun emplacesments. It covers the view from Helles to Canakkale. Use your mouse to drag the view from left to right. The tools at the bottom of the image can also be used to zoom in and out to see the full detail of this image.
Get the Flash Player to use this control.
Note – You can not zoom back fully and see the entire image but the navigation box in the top left coner will show you where along the image you are.

I’m now back at work and catching up on the email and tasks. I am also still processing the photos taken on the trip. As I go through the images I am adding notes but also looking for those images that where taken to match those in the collection. Here is the first one. It is a panoramic photo of North Beach. Although these images have been taken at a slightly different angle the details are still clear and the changes to the landscape become obvious.

We have now left Turkey and gone on our own different ways. Some are off to the Western Front Battlefield Tour, some are returning home and others (like myself) are continuing with other travelling.
There are more images and information to pass on. For example I have a number of images that I have taken to show how the battlefields have changed with “then and now” collections. There are also more images from ANZAC Day and the last days we had in Istanbul. But these will have to wait until I return to Australia later this week. Until then please send me any comments or photo requests. I will follow up these requests on my return.
