A truly atmospheric spot. They also have a single column with a Medusa head as its base.

Remembering 23 years ago, when we visited Turkey.
These ancient Roman cisterns are deep below the old section of Istanbul (formerly Constantinople).

We summited the 3 highest volcanoes in Ecuador.
Highest was Chimborazo at 20,703ft.

Got high altitude sickness on all 3 summits : hyperventilating, nausea, fatigue.
Kept reminding myself I was on vacation - LOL.
Definitely something I'm proud of, but not much fun.
Difficult to even take photographs on the climbs.

I remembering trying to navigate through these incredible crevasses on this glacier was a little nerve wracking. Trusting in your crampons and ice axe to keep a firm footing!

I stumbled on this old Sadhu "Holy Man", while visiting the city of Pashupatinath near Katmandu, Nepal.
He was living in a small, ancient mausoleum in the cemetery.
His dreadlocks must have been 10 feet long!
