Gezbeli
Gezbeli submitted by davidmorgan : Sorry about this. I spent about ten minutes staring at this rock-face trying to make out the carved relief here. Anyway, this is the place to look. Photo taken in 2011. I had already failed to see it previously in 2008. You need to get there early for the sun. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Carving in Adana Province, Turkey

A Hittite relief probably dating from the 13th century BCE. It depicts Prince Kuwalanamuwa according to the Luwian hieroglyphics there.
More information on the Hittite Monuments website.

It is almost impossible to see without morning sunlight on it.

Re: access - a nice scenic road over the Gezbeli pass at 1990 metres but not a good idea in winter according to the Dangerous Roads website.
