dressing the stone Photo

Photographer’s Note

Rock-cut architecture is the practice of creating buildings by carving natural rock. The interiors were usually carved out by starting at what would wind up being the roof and then working downward, for the obvious reason that stones would not be falling on one's head. The three main uses of rock-cut architecture were temples (like those in India), tombs (like those in Petra, Jordan) and cave dwelling (like those in Cappadocia, Turkey).

Rock-cut architecture is still famous in Cappadocia because of having soft rocks and also easiness of dressing them.
The mason worker is cleaning the surface of those stones and also reshaping them in order to use for the restoration of the building at the BG.

I like the architure with the white stones houses, we see the house in background this is very nice.
The man in foreground as worker of the white stone have to everything with the hand and not with machinery. Very nice picture. Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice day,
John.

Hi Mali

As you know I did a WS ...
