The rooftops of Ordu - Turkey
Ordu - a port on the Black Sea Coast of Turkey. " Ordu" means army in the Turkish language (and the word has come down in modern English as the word horde ). The name may have been given because in the 15th century the city was a headquarters of the Ottoman Empire army, or alternatively the name may be a derivation from the earlier Greek name Kotyora. Main centre for the production of hazelnuts in Turkey

1938 Head Quarters Ordu Ottoman
EDITORS COMMENTS
Basking in the golden glow of the setting sun, the rooftops of Ordu, Turkey, present an enchanting tableau of history and natural beauty. Nestled on the Black Sea Coast, this ancient city bears the weight of a rich and complex past. The name Ordu, meaning 'army' in Turkish, is steeped in historical significance. It is believed that the city derived its name from its role as a headquarters for the Ottoman Empire army in the 15th century. Alternatively, it may be a derivation from the earlier Greek name Kotyora. The city of Ordu has long been a center for the production of hazelnuts in Turkey, a testament to its fertile land and agricultural heritage. The rooftops in this photograph offer a glimpse into the lives of the people who call this place home. The red-tiled roofs, with their distinctive curved edges, are a common sight in Ordu and are reminiscent of the Ottoman architectural influence that can be seen throughout the city. The port of Ordu, located at the heart of the city, has played a crucial role in the city's history. It was a vital trading hub during the Ottoman Empire and continues to be an important economic center today. The sea, with its endless expanse of water, adds a sense of tranquility and serenity to the scene. This photograph, taken in 1938, captures the essence of Ordu's unique charm and history. The rooftops, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, tell a story of a city that has weathered the test of time and continues to thrive. The beauty of Ordu lies in its ability to blend history, culture, and natural splendor in a way that is truly captivating.
