Cappadocia,Turkey v3

Thanks for your Ratings and Comments!!

Fairy Chimneys of Cappadocia
Once called Mt. Argeus, the awesome presence of Erciyes Dagi inspired legends as the "Abode of the Gods" and the Persians built a Zoroastrian fire temple nearby. These two ancient volcanoes mark the western and eastern boundaries of a region known for its curious volcanic landscape that has been relentlessly carved by nature and by the people who have lived here. 'Fairy chimneys,' cones and strange rock formations have been sculpted by wind and rain while subterranean towns were excavated by a populace seeking shelter from the conquerors and would-be conquerors who crisscrossed the wide open steppes of the Central Anatolian Plateau. Ancient Anatolian tribes, Assyrians, Hittites, Phrygians, Turkic tribes from Central Asia, Mongols, Persians,Syrians, Armenians, Slavs, Greeks, Romans and Western Europeans have all passed through leaving behind some of their traditions as well as their genes and rendering Cappadocians as exotic as their surreal surroundings.

I can't wait to show my son in the morning! And... you caught the moon too!

After seeing the GRAND CANNON and many other beautiful things all my life that nature has done like the Badlands and such just like these it is just gorgeous to see what erosion can do! Wonderful picture and I am glad you explained it. Living in Japan and Hawaii both I have seen the aftermath of Volcanoes too but nothing like this! Thank you for sharing! ~ micki
