Kemal Ataturk is credited with pretty much singlehandedly creating modern Turkey from the ashes of World War 1. His resting place is an appropriately scaled precint atop a hill in Ankara, incorporating a mausoleum and museum. Rob visited for a couple of hours on the afternoon of the 29th Jan, 2004. This is deep winter in that part of the world; hence the soft, cold light.

He was a great man. Every nation should read his thoughts about peace and freedom.
