Temple of Apollo, Side, Turkey

Turkey is amazing for its ruins. There seems to be vestiges of the past everywhere and many of the sites have not been investigated due to lack of resources. This is the Temple of Apollo in Side, an old Greek settlement lying between the cities of Alanya and Antalya on Turkey's Mediterranean coast.

This ferris wheel was located in Windsor near the river and I am sure provided a tremendous view over the River Thames and Windsor Castle.
