Asansör (elevator) was built in 1907 as a work of public service by Nesim Levi Bayraklıoğlu; a wealthy Jewish banker and trader of that period. This is one of the landmarks of Izmir. This old building has been restored recently and now in service of public use for free. On top end there is a cafeteria with a great scene of Izmir city. Very nice place with live music and delicious food and drinks. Asansör is 56 meters high and now has modern twin lifts in the tower. First elevator was run by steam power. The bricks to build this tower are from France, Marcilly. Tanju

As Cornelius said, this does give a clearer view of how impressive the tower is. Fine work, Tanju.

Great history and I like this one for the focus upon the tower, while I like the previous shot for the couple enjoying an evening is Ismir. Both are great shots and thank you for sharing.

I have never seen an elevator like this, incredible! :) Thank you also for including the history of the tower, knowing that makes the excellent photographs you took of it (especially the dusk one) even more special. :) Have a great day!

"I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more." -
Dorothy Parker (1893-1967)

Beautiful architecture, interesting history, and an excellent shot with beautiful lighting, depth-of-field, and diagonal balance of the tower versus the bush in the foreground and the eatery covering both. I seldom place verticals in my favorites file, since they doesn't conform to any of my screens' horizontal character, but this one's an exception. Thanks for sharing it with us.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Gorgeous scenery my friend.
I've a friend of mine just returned from Turkey, Istanbul with much enthusiasm.
There are still a great devotion to Mustafa Kemal, an extraordinary person, which I believe is still inimitable.
