Loos With Views

loo The surprisingly scenic urinals at Maryemana, on a mountain above Ephesus, in western Turkey. Also see the Stationary Toilets, West Asian and North African section. Someone else has photographed this one for a web site, and they have a better image at: http://www.urinal.net/svm/

loo A urinal right next to a window, in the town park in Cours-les-Barres, France, along the Canal Lateral a la Loire.

Also see my page about French canal boat rental.

loo A urinal in the Indianapolis Airport control tower, around the 220' level.

The outhouse behind the church in Angoville au Plain, in Normandy. OK, so it's not much of a view, but this is my page and my call.


loo The toilet in the formerly secret UK government bunkers tunneled into the cliffs above Dover.

Some of the tunnels date from the Napoleanic Wars, but they were greatly expanded during World War II. The UK anti-aircraft operations were controlled from here — radar and other data was gathered and interceptors were dispatched from here. See my page with many pictures from there.

Also see Winston Churchill's chamber pot.


Mt Sinai Pit toilet constructed from local rubble, just below the summit of Mt Sinai, Egypt. Not actually from the era of Moses, thought to be approximately 1450 BC, but the mountain has been a major pilgrimage site at least since when the Byzantine Empress Helena (ruled 313-328 AD) established a monastery at the base of the mountain. You'd think that during close to 1,700 years they'd have had time to put doors and a roof on the thing!

And yes, the sani-flush blue background does indicate that that I have used this toilet, just as it means on all my other pages.


Squat toilet in the Five Fingers mountains One may find these facilities when trekking in Beşparmak Dağları, the Five Fingers mountain range in Turkey. Note how the waist-high enclosure provides both stunning views of the mountains for a user, and stunning views of the user for a passerby.

       A Sani-Flush blue border indicates a toilet that I've used.
