Cappadocia Turkey

These ‘Fairy Chimneys’ in Central Turkey are the result of volcanic eruptions in the area. Lava flow from volcanoes turned to rock, which was gradually shaped by the wind & rain into curvy chimney shapes. 

The people of Cappadocia chiseled homes & churches into the rock. Underneath these is a series of subterranean cities, used to shelter the local people form raids, in times gone by.
