Fairy Chimneys (2)

Turkey, Cappadocia, Göreme, Sept. 2013

Sedimentary rocks formed in lakes and streams and deposits that erupted from ancient volcanoes approximately 9 to 3 million years ago.
The rocks of Cappadocia near Göreme and Ürgüp eroded into hundreds of spectacular pillars and minaret-like forms, also called fairy chimneys.

This picture is especially for Cathy Blatt.

During our trip it was the topic of the day: "What do you see in these volcanic sculptures?"
Some people saw garden gnomes, my wife a group of women chatting together, and
I saw a sea lion (second right) trying to impress his fellow sea lions.

Sea lions showing off, woman chatting, fairy chimneys... the imagination can run wild in such a place imagining all manner of different and magical things.

...ces cheminées de fée au tronc conique, parfois trapu comme celui des türbes,parfois élancé et phallique, toujours surmontés de leur coiffe de lave dure, donnent à chacune de ces concrétions, une silhouette de champignon, toi Peter un spécialiste en mycologie, tu n'y as pas songé?!...
a great editing
