This time not a serie photographs of my hand, but made by my brother (www.prorama.nl).

The Nicosia International Airport was build in the 1930's.
First in use as a military airport, later it was mainly in use for civilian aircrafts.

As a result of the turkish invasion in 1974 Cyprus was split up in a turkish part (37%) and the remaining Cyprus part.

The airport is abandoned since July 15 1974, and lies exactly in the UN-buffer, which seperates the 2 areas from each other.

Also check the 360 pano's:
