KAŞ FROM AFAR
KAŞ as the sun goes down—— Drawn from a cafe out on a pier, looking up at the mountain above the town with its Lycian tombs. Much of this is now covered with development.
“Kaş is in the ancient kingdom of Lycia. Think 500 BCE. Here and there in the sunstruck green and gold of the hillsides are the square carved faces of plundered Lycian tombs. The land has the most amazing color: peach-colored, salmon, saffron, shading down into rose and maroon; the dirt is the color of dried blood. In places where a landslide has broken open a hill, the bright rock contrasts with the grayed stone and growth on the surface like a geode. Pine and cypress trees march along ridges and cluster in gulleys, and olive trees are everywhere. Below the rocks the sea is sapphire-black, turquoise, jade. There are black goats and red rock houses and boats and friends.” –email to a friend, 2000.
