A few days ago we were sailing and hiking around this beautiful lush area in Turkey… Unfortunately last night, around 8pm, a large wildfire tore through this part of the coast bring back memories for locals of last years devastating fires and causing wide spread damage. The darkness challenged firefighters battling flames on the land with limited aerial support. When the sun rose, some 20 helicopters and 14 airplanes started dousing the flames in an area covering about 617 acres. Hopefully everyone is okay ❤️
(See last photo, captured on my phone, of what we could see last night)
Over 1.5 million people flock to Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, making it Turkey’s second-most visited landmark. It’s one of the greatest examples of Byzantine architecture in the world too, with its abundant mosaics, bronze doors, marbled floors and impressive stone inlays. It’s stood for over 1,500 years. 🇹🇷
Did you know The Daintree Is home to the only place on earth where two world heritage sites meet. The Daintree Rainforest extends out to the coast, where it meets the Great Barrier Reef. This meeting of these two sites is obvious at Cape Tribulation, where the reef is close to the shore🌴🐠
