View attachment 840028Another small Church in a remote bay, kept clean and tidy by another Muslim for the Christians that come to visit.

That’s a nice good feeling side story to it.

I found these on an old contax website archive on the net. I took these in 2009 at a polo match in Gilgit. I have the original slides stored away but no scans.

That’s a nice good feeling side story to it.

there were many such places for Christian worship that are kept open and tended to by the public of North Cyprus. I started visiting in 03 and in 04 the South started to allow people to venture into the North. Met quite a few in remote places looking for their old homes etc most were surprised to find things had mostly been looked after.
In 03 cars and busses were mostly pre 73 models, just a few newer models that came over from Turkey or settlers from around Europe etc Funniest was a Morris with wings missing along with the bonnet, stuck in 3rd gear. But it moved, so they used it, even with it belching out black smoke.

Fascinating! I guess the north is less touristy and thus nicer to explore ?

A very early morning drive out to the Karpaz to see the wild Donkeys before they hid from the hot sun.
the Alpha male Donkey kept an eye on me while the rest went over the hill to shelter in the scrub.

And a few from London back in 2005 I think
