Antalya, Turkey 19-9-2015

a few pics from Antalya airport taken last Saturday while I waited for my return flight following my 2 week holiday in Turkey which incorporated my daughter's wedding (I won't bore you with the wedding photos!). All were taken from behind glass in terminal 2 or from the aircraft behind the perspex window so a bit of degradation was encountered. It's quite a busy airport with lots of Turkish airlines in and out and quite a few Russians as well. Unfortunately the place where I took these (near gate 62) which gives the best view also looks south towards the sun in the afternoon but better than nothing,

there are a few more in my flickR album but again the quality isn't brilliant https://www.flickr.com/photos/125470545 ... 8864474186 . I was using my 'holiday' lens , my sigma 18-250 on my 600D. the 100-400 would have used most of my hand luggage allowance and wouldn't have been any use to me for the other 13 1/2 days. The 70D also stayed at home charged and ready for Duxford last Sunday.

C&C welcome,
