The library of Celsus located in the ancient city of Ephesus, Anatolia (now part of Selçuk, Turkey) was built in honor of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus. The library was built to store 12,000 scrolls as well as to serve as the mausoleum of Celsus. I took this photo during my trip to Turkey last year and Ephesus remains to be the best place I have ever travelled to. The place was flooded with visitors so I made sure to position my camera so as not to capture the crazy crowd of tourists. It was very interesting to learn how advanced their society was having their own hospitals, schools, theaters, library and even an aqueduct system. To date, only 15% of the city has been uncovered and future excavations will surely bring us more surprises.
I liked this one, so sharp and well composed and well lit as well as atmospheric. I love ruins.

Ephesus is on my bucket list – one day! My daughter went there 2 years ago, unfortunately she’s not much of a photographer!

The place was breathtaking and was lucky as well to have a very well informed tour guide. Once you have the chance, go for it!
