I’m a sucker for a Sarniç!

I love playing “spot the Sarniç” as I drive around the Bodrum Peninsula. They come in various stages of repair/disrepair, and can be spotted in towns, villages and dotted across the landscape.

So imagine my glee upon discovering this site – with the biggest collection of Sarniç photo’s imaginable.

Photographer

The photographer, Sab, is a Turkish native and has amassed a vast collection of Sarniç photographs.  As well as organizing them by location, he’s also tagged them with a map coordinate, so you can retrace his steps and visit these local water cisterns for yourself.

His photo’s are organized by Location:

 Once you’ve clicked on a location, a new page will open up to show all Sarniçs in the area.

Then you can click on the individual photo’s to display a larger photo, a hyperlink to a map, as well as the coordinates.

My Top 3 Sarniçs

I spent some time perusing Sab’s entire collection of photographs, and have picked out my Top 3 Sarniç photo’s: 

#1. Of course I love the goats!  But I like the rustic looking exterior of this Sarniç

#2.  In direct comparison to #1, this is a pristine Sarniç example.

#3.  This made my list, because of the photo composition.
