Since I got so much response with Oh's and Ah's regarding the landscape of Cappadocia I decided to tell a bit more about this incredible unique and magical place, with a few words and more pictures.
I will divide it into some parts. I would like to show the underground rock cities and churches of the early Christians, a hike to the gorgeous Ihlara Valley, the town of Goereme with the awesome Kelebek Hotel where we stayed, the Pigeon Valley. Today I just let the rocks and formations speak!
This area near Goereme is proudly called by locals Love Valley... with its bare phallus shaped rock pinnacles the name explains itself. This is an easy stroll through wonderful gardens of quinces and pears and through beautiful vine yards, littered with hundreds of those columns.
How about a Djinn looking down on you?
Or a camel watching over the place?
This marvelous nature wonder was formed by volcanic eruptions, a river by the name of Kizilirmak and erosion through wind and rain.
Or maybe by fairies, witches, trolls and gnomes?

LOL, Yael...this is one of the most magical places I've seen in photos! I would be so lucky to walk down that path...full of awe!
Was für herrliche Bilder von einem verzauberten Ort. Das wirkt alles unglaublich mystisch und kraftvoll. Alles hat eine überaus starke Ausstrahlung und beim Betrachten bekommt man wirklich Sehnsucht.

If I believed in a divine creator, I would say: there can't be anything wrong with love if he/she put up these sculptures as in the Love Valley.
Oiii Eva, you made me laugh and then smile!!!!
