Venetian Harbor From Afar

Took a short trip to St. Hilarion Castle, which has a long and varied history of which I will spare you, but the remains are dramatic, at least from a little distance. Somewhere along the route we observed a statue of a soldier in full combat attire apparently attacking an enemy. I volunteered for the military and served a tour, but really, this sort of thing near a historical site. We think the martial orientation in North Cyprus both reflects the citizens values, although we have no first hand evidence, and a continuing influence over ongoing beliefs of residents, of which we are certain. Not pleasant. Okay, back to the picture. This view is from the castle looking back down on Girne. Our Venetian Harbor is in the center. Look closely.
