My Music

Keith — Mon, 02 Jan 2006 01:23:17 +0000

I have included this section in order to demonstrate another aspect of TurkBlogs flexibility. As long time members of the Absolutely Altinkum forum will know, whilst we can post photographs and copy documents into our posts, we cannot upload other files such as music or video. Well with TurkBlogs you can.

I have called this section ‘My Music’ in order to demonstrate how easy it is to upload music files to share with friends or family or the world at large. The only issue I have had to consider here is one of copyright – obviously I could get into trouble were I to put commercial songs on here. So to overcome this I have included some rubbish that I wrote and recorded with the help of a computer and midi keyboard a few years ago. This way I don’t get into trouble although the downside is that I inflict my music to die to (as somebody once described it) onto the world at large.

The only exception to this is ‘Keep Moving’ which was written by my daughter Danielle and 3 of her friends and sung by her. Now you will realise she definitely didn’t get her talent from me.

All About Altinkum

Keith — Mon, 26 Dec 2005 02:05:00 +0000

The town of Altinkum is situated on the Aegean coast of Turkey, 56 miles north west of Bodrum airport. It is positioned in a lovely bay backed by some gently, rising hills. Although relatively small at present, the resort is fast growing as its popularity increases. The resort front is entirely pedestrianised. Altinkum has mainly British patrons, although it is very popular with the Turkish during peak season (The Turks all have a 2 week holiday in August). There is also a town centre about a 20-25 minute walk from the resort seafront and is primarily used by the locals. ...

Promoting Pamukkale

Keith — Mon, 26 Dec 2005 01:11:08 +0000

Until forty or fifty years ago, Pamukkale was a place where travelers who happened to pass by found peace and tranquillity and the opportunity for quiet meditation by the side of the sacred spring that still lies exposed, amid the few ancient columns and in the deep silence of the tombs that lay scattered over the countryside to the west and extended out towards the surrounding hills. In spite of the doubtful merits of present-day developments, and in spite of all the ugly building construction that has taken place, the seething crowds, the noise and pollution, one can still confidently ...

Decidedly Didyma

Keith — Mon, 26 Dec 2005 01:07:46 +0000

Didyma is located near the village of Yenihisar (Yoran) near the town of Söke in the province of Aydýn in the Aegean region. Here one finds an important sanctuary that housed one of the oracles of Apollo. It was connected to Miletus by sea, and those arriving by ship would land at the harbour of Panormus and thence follow the Sacred way to Didyma. Until its destruction by the Persians in 494 B.C. it was administered by the family of the Branchidae, the descendants of Bronchos, a youth beloved of Apollo. For the last two kilometers the Sacred Way was ...

Positively Priene

Keith — Mon, 26 Dec 2005 00:59:29 +0000

Priene, now known as Güllübahçe, was an ancient city of Ionia in Western Anatolia situated some 20 km from Söke. Excavations here were begun by Carl Human in 1895 and completed by Th. Wiegand in 1898. The ruins of Priene present one of the most striking examples of the grid type of town-planning associated with the name of Hippodamos. The plan of Priene was based on that of Athens and, as the ancient town is located on a slope at the foot of a great cliff of rock, the grid plan is displayed in all its magnificence. Temples and other ...

Marvellous Miletus

Keith — Mon, 26 Dec 2005 00:53:58 +0000

Situated at the mouth of the Meander in the south of the province of Ionia in Western Anatolia, the ancient city of Miletus was the oldest and the most powerful of the twelve Ionian cities in Asia Minor. It also founded over ten colonies on the shores of the Marmara and the Black Sea, while its commercial activities extended as far as Egypt. Its schools made a very great contribution to the intellectual and scholarly development of the Mediterranean world and one cannot talk of Miletus without mention of the great contributions to geometry and science made by Thales, one ...

Essentially Ephesus

Keith — Mon, 26 Dec 2005 00:20:02 +0000

According to the old legends, Ephesus was founded by the female warriors known as the Amazons. The name of the city is thought to have been derived from "APASAS", the name of a city in the "KINGDOM OF ARZAWA" meaning the "city of the Mother Goddess". Ephesus was inhabited from the end of the Bronze Age onwards, but changed its location several times in the course of its long history in accordance with habits and requirements. Carians and Lelegians are to be have been among the city's first inhabitants. Ionian migrations are said to have begun in around 1200 B.C. ...
