Welcome to our visual blog for the BUPS/BIS 2009 8th grade Ephesus trip. These photographs, captions and "unphotographs" represent a joint venture in English and art class capturing the experience of the students' final middle school trip at BUPS/BIS. Many still remember and speak fondly of the games at Patalya in 6th grade and the adventures in Cappadocia last year in 7th. This year's experience held the same kind of wonder and memories, all the more poignant since in just a little time they will graduate from the 8th grade. The students have chosen their best landscape, portrait and detail photograph, writing a concise and descriptive caption for one. Using Michael David Murphy's "Unphotographable" as an inspiration, the students also wrought an image in words when its meaning went beyond the pixel.

Even though they will be in the same building next year and have many of the same teachers, high school is a different world. Every assignment and class trip of middle school has been constructed to help the students succeed in this new realm. But, as you will see from the photos of Ephesus and its surrounding areas and as the students realized, the past is never far away, and it's always the foundation for the future.

A wind that brings the old souls, who made that inestimable structures as we go on our time journey in a meadow surrounded by dazzling flowers on the water.

This is a picture I did not take of a spring house sparkling because of the bright sun, near alluring flowers, in the crowded city, while motorbikes are passing by. People in the house's garden were trying to get some wholesome fruit, then suddenly the sun sparkles and people on the motorbikes and people who are working pause for a moment, and look at the sun charmingly as the sunlight creeps between the house's curtains.
