Natural History Photographs





Lunch at the southern coast of Erçek Gölü. Some local people came to collect wood - it's amazing how many fitted into this car!



Just at the edge of the lake there is a railway track, which is still in use. The vegetation close to the lake is inundated by a few cm water - just enough to get wet feet and be bitten by too many mosquitos!
