Goreme fairy chimneys, a photo from Nevsehir, Central Anatolia

Photographer's Note

The famed fairy chimneys of Cappadocia.... the land of the free horses.

Formed from 3 volcanic eruptions in the past and from the erosions of hard and soft rock layers. The thin top hard layer is the cap that keep them standing up like chimneys. So pretty ...they are called fairies.

The soft rock is carved into to make homes - real rock -homes. Not caves.

A must visit place..... CAPPADOCIA

Hi Sam,
It would be like a fairy tale to live in one of those homes. Although I suspect they are not very modern inside. Good closeup view giving a fairly good idea of how those cones were formed.

Awesome capture of those rock homes! I wonder how they created those at the top, humans are very resourceful. Good pov and nice details. Well done, tfs.
