Description
Nevsihir Cappadocia central Turkye
Cappadocia is a small area in Central Turkey covering around 300 square kilometers which has a unique, almost surreal, landscape. Volcanic activity formed a plateau of ash and the strange, rugged rock formations were created by the forces of erosion. The unusual structures were formed by the softer ash layers eroding faster than the harder layers of basalt and andesite which remained on top making the capped cone shapes.
These formations are known as "fairy chimneys" as the early inhabitants of the region believed that humans could not have built them, and as fairies lived under ground, they must be the chimneys sticking out.

What a gorgeous shot. The more I see of your work, the more I feel the urge to pack my bags and start traveling again. Especially to the places I've seen in your Gallery. What interesting formations! There are small parts of the USA with similar structures, but they're not as flamboyant as these! Beautiful!
