The Flintstone landscape of Cappadocia. People made their homes within the rock.
Cappadocia.
You can see here various windows in the rock, the local people carved their way inside and all the way up and lived in these rocks Flintstone-style!
Some of the rocks in Cappadocia have interesting shapes.
In Pammukale you'll find these interesting lime formations. At the top left are pools (they're actually quite large though they don't look it here) that you could once bathe in, spa-style, until the authorities recently stopped it due to damage to the rock.
Ephesus is said to be the best preserved Roman ruins on the Mediterranean.
I'm in Istanbul here posing in front of the Blue Mosque (it's blue on the inside silly, I know it's grey on the outside, sheeesh!).
I took this photo with an 8 second exposure at the Chimaera, a natural eternal flame that sprouts from a hillside near Olympos and which apparently cannot be extinguished (the gas reignites by itself if the flame is quenched, scientists are not sure how). Ben, second from left, gets the prize for staying the stillest!
