Location: Turkey

Photos by Asmaa Waguih and Joey Lawrence of Kurdish fighters provide a face for a revolution that is quietly taking place behind the front lines of the war with ISIS.

Across Europe and Russia you can find the remains of bunkers and air-raid shelters- a legacy of the Second World War and the Cold War that followed. In Cappadocia, in central Turkey, you can find much older and much more extensive underground shelters.

In the valleys of Cappadocia are hundreds of cave churches from the early years of Christianity.

On a cliff overlooking the small town of Cavusin a Turkish flag flies amidst the ruins of a village.

After the fall of Constantinople the two remaining Byzantine states- the Despotate of Morea and the Empire of Trebizond- came under renewed pressure.

In the mountains around Trabzon you can find fragments of an empire that traces its origins back to ancient Rome.

Photos of the streets and waterways around the old Turkish capital.

The previous set of photos was taken on Istiklal avenue approaching Taksim Square.

Photos I took of today's anti-government demonstrations in Istanbul.
