We had some interesting excursion in Turkey.
One of them was to Mira - Kekova.
These are some photos of family rocky sepulchre (480-470 B.C.) at Ksentos - ancient town of Likia.

As you can see, fronts of sepulchres look like fronts of the houses where people lived at these ancient times... Even wooden foundation for roofs...
I was impressed. They thought the higher the sepulchre will be - the closer to their Heaven..

    Aren't these tombs amazing? We visited them in 1996 - before I got into photography. I need to get back there to get photos.

    Wow. Awesome place. Nice shots.

    Question: did you add blur to the first shot?

    Comment: the haloing on your skies is getting in the way of your shots for me.

    No - I used HDR for this photo.
