Göreme (Open Air Museum)
It is one of the earliest settlements in the area. Over 30 of the best-preserved churches in Cappadocia can be seen here. Most churches date from the 9th to 11th centuries and bear good examples of Byzantine mural paintings. Uçhisar is a fortress-type settlement hewn into a high outcrop of rock. The view of the Cappadocian landscpe from Uçhisar castle especially is truly unique. It is worth mentioning the Kızıl Çukur Vadisi (Crimson Cavity Valley) in Çavuşin. The soil is a reddish color and at sunset the valley displays all shades of crimson.

The best churches in Göreme are Elmalı (Apple Church), St. Barbara, Yılanlı (Snake Church), Karanlık (Dark Church), Çarıklı (Sandal Church) and Tokalı (Church with a Shield). A lively tourist center at the foot of a rock ridge riddled with old dwellings serves as an excellent base from which to tour the sights of Cappadocia.

Merhaba dear friend
Protected by those giant cathedrals carved in rock I can perceive tiny white houses waydown below.
Surrealistic view of an astonishing landscape!

Hello Gurkan,
I like how you framed this. Without the sky, the image appears pleasantly abstract with beautiful colors and texture. Best regards, Danilo

Beautiful colours and a well composed picture. I would have liked the tree to be better emphasized but I do not know how and if it was technically possible to achieve this.
Regards,
Tibi

Merhaba Gurkan,
What an unusual sight for me! I love the splash of orange seemingly painted on in a random fashion. The scraggly tree seems an appropriate portal to the remarkable terrain.
All the best,
Karen
