Sitting at the cafe next to Pont du Gard, watching the tourist and locals exploring this lovely site.
Autumn.. the sight of golden leaves against the clear blue skies with Pont du Gard in the backdrop... life's indeed great!

For our homework we have to do as many pictures as we can using the sight measuring technique we learnt. This is my first effort in chalk.

I have been playing around with PhotoMania on facebood and found this effect in the Artistic section. I really like it, I must say.

These photos are from another short walk around Goreme and also a horse ride to the Rose Valley area.
We loved the Cappadocia area but couldn't shake the feeling that we were being ripped off, shortchanged, and lied to on a daily basis. The horse ride is a classic example. My wife is an expert horse rider, I'm an amateur. She found a great tour that met her desires - small group, nice area, and the horses looked well cared for. We made a reservation for the following day. Later we noticed the forecast took a turn for the worst so we tried to contact the stable owners online to change the ride today but no answer. We asked our hotel to call the stable. They did, spoke to someone, and told us everything was taken care of, we were going riding that day.
A taxi came to pick us up. The hotel owner introduced us to the driver, her cousin. Bad sign. We left for the ride and noticed we were going in the wrong direction. We ended up at a field with a large group of people, horses that were not well cared for, and the business name was not the same. We were pissed and felt ripped off. We had no wifi reception so we were pretty much stuck there. The ride was boring. The horses were about 6 inches apart in a long line, no free riding. The only good thing were the views at the turnaround point.
On the way back to the hotel a bunch of messages came in - from the original stable - apparently they came to the hotel about 5 minutes after we were picked up and wanted to know where we were. My wife so disappointed and irritated.
