Photographer’s Note

A sight one can see nearly every sunrise over the spectacular Cappadocia valleys, is that of hot-air balloons hovering over the landscape below. The fantastic early morning light and magnificent landscape make getting up early to see this sight well worth the effort.

The Cappadocian region, formed by a volcanic landscape together with water and wind erosion makes it one of the most geographical unique destinations in the world, and it truly deserves the level of attention it receives from tourists all over the world.

I like this balloon floating over the desert landscape, with the sunset light.
It returns a sense of relax, of silence, and a bit of wind and nothing else.

A classic image of morning beauty and some lucky people to view it in this balloon. Great placement to the left - and nice clarity considering the light is still just coming up.

Cheers!!
