Photographer’s Note

Amasya (Greek: Αμάσεια) is a town in northern Turkey, the capital of Amasya Province with approximately 80,000 inhabitants. In Antiquity it was the home of Strabo the geographer.
Situated between the Black Sea and inner Anatolia in a region of fertile plains irrigated by the Tersakan, Çekerek and Yeşil rivers, the town itself is situated on the Yeşil River (Iris river), at 390 metres above sea level. It lies in a naturally beautiful narrow river valley, bounded by vertical cliffs and high peaks. Amasya is renowned for its orchards. The north is connected to the heavily populated southern side by five bridges. Economic activities in the region include agriculture and mining as well as textiles and cement manufacture.(from:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amasya)
