Turkey's Magical Landscapes
Turkey is a place of great natural beauty. Turkey has truly been blessed with a diverse landscape from a lovely Mediterranean coast to the craters of the moon of capadocia. We were lucky enough to enjoy some of the breathtaking scenery of Turkey.
Capadoccia: Is a place where the landscape is so unique, the original people thought it must have been created by fairies. It looks like the earth has been folded into white peaks like a long ribbon of candy.
There are dynamic “imagination” valleys where the shape and form of the earth is so varied. This varied landscape invites one to allow the imagination to wander like looking upon a cloud filled sky.
The earth has been shaped and formed into “fairy chimneys” that dot the landscape. There is even a natural “last castle.” A large mound has been carved into the dwelling of a city. This city sits proudly looking out over the plains like a majestic castle.
Pamukkale: is a such a breath taking sight, a religious roman city was constructed in its place. Heavily calcified water has created a magical landscape of natural pools, cascades and terraces.
The warm mineral water still flows down the side of the cliff adding to this magical landscape daily. We walked down from the top enjoying the aqua colored pools terrace by terrace.
At sunset, the orange glow of the sun setting over the mountains reflects in the pools and on the white landscape. The magic of this place is spectacular.
