Anatolian Mugs

One of the most beautiful rock cut churches in Cappadocia, a real "trademark" of this magnificent region, this cap shaped rock is known by the strange name "El Nazar". It was a Greek-Orthodox church some centuries ago. It is situated in the El Nazar valley, about 800m to the right from the road to the Goreme Open air museum. The floor has been completely destroyed, as has part of the apse. The frescoes show scenes which follow each other in chronological order. This church can be dated to the end of the 10th century.

Photo taken in Love Valley (Nevsehir, Cappadocia, Turkey) famous for its impessive rocks in phallic shapes. Cappadocia and its impressive landscapes are declared World Heritage Site by Unesco. About the "philosofical" question of the title: It seems that it's a subject troubling more the gentlemen than the ladies, because it seems that ladies already know the answer!

The twin valleys of Soganli (Asagi Soganli & Yukari Soganli) are the southeast corner of the imaginary triangle that forms Cappadocia. Although in the southwest "edge" of Kayseri Prefecture, it's very close to the "borders" with Nevsehir Prefecture, not very far from the "heart" of Cappadocia (Central Anatolia, Turkey), but still far enough, for most of the tourists, so you will have the chance to explore the 2 valleys of Soganli, practically "alone". Inside the valleys, a researcher, called Anastasios Levidis, counted 360 rock-cut byzantine churches, not carved in the slopes of the valleys, but "inside" some rocky cones. If your "base" is somewhere around Goreme, Urgup or Mustafapasa (Sinassos), you'll have to drive 36 km south of Si...

The Kapali Carsi of Kayseri, is the 4th biggest covered marked in Turkey. Not as "touristic" as the Kapali Carsi of Istanbul, it is used mostly by the locals. It took its present form in 1853. It is "attached" to an older market, the Bedesten of Kayseri. Camera: Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III

One of the most beautiful sights of Kayseri, is the Bedesten, the old covered market, constructed on 1497. It is attached to the much bigger and newer, Covered Market ("Kapali Carsi")of Kayseri, a real labyrinth, which is the fourth largest covered market in Turkey. Inside the Bedesten you will mostly see carpet and kilim shops, and also some wool warehouses.

A flight with a balloon above the spectacular landscape of Cappadokia (Turkey) is considered a "must do" once you visit the region, and if you ask me, it really is. The whole thing, waking up in the middle of the night, watch the preparations of the baloon, and mostly, flying (the "main course") are an unforgetable experience. There are many companies arranging flights and if the weather allows it, you can see more than 30 baloons in the Cappadocian sky. The take off place varies and it depends on the wind direction. Some very experienced pilots can fly "through" the rocks, as you can see in the photo. Although the pilot of the baloon I flew with, didn't try such risky things, I was proud to participate in a flight, having in the "d...

This is part of the path that leads to Selime monastery (Aksaray, Cappadocia, Turkey) , going up a steep hillside, that it's an atraction of its own! Here you see one of the many tunnels with carved stairs leading to the monastic complex. In the background, through the hole, you can see part of the fascade from one of the many rock cut cave-churches of the monastery. The region of Cappadocia is a World Heritage Site by Unesco.

That was the view from my room in a beautiful cave hotel in Ayvali (Nevsehir, Cappadocia, Turkey). Ayvali is a small but beautiful village, very close to famous Sinassos (Mustafapasa) town. The hotel was located inside a small gorge, where a very old Greek-Orthodox Monastery used to be (yes, inside these "cavehouses" that you see in the photo). Cappadocia has been declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. *EXIF DATA* Focal length: 20 mm Aperture: f/11 Shutter speed: 30 sec ISO: 320 *EQUIPMENT* Camera: Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III Lens: Canon EF 16-35 mm f/2.8 L II Tripod: Manfrotto Edited in PS6

The Anatolian Shepherd is known as the "livestock guardian." They are of Turkish origin, and are loyal, territorial, and invaluable to their owners who still use them for herding and guarding as their ancestors did! As pets, they are large and high-energy, and friendly. The Kangal Shepherd Dog looks very similar to a fawn colored Anatolian and shares the Anatolian's size and skill. It is one of the oldest breeds in the world and still regularly used for guarding the homes and their owners' herds of cattle.
