Zelve Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

When ever you visit Cappadokia,this valley is worth a visit too.
Only a few tourists and there are many homes carved into the soft tuff stone.

A stich made of three shots,taken at about noon.
extreme strong light!!!

HAVE A NICE SUNDAY WITH TE !!

Zelve, is on the Göreme - Avanos roadway after Ürgüp. It has been settled at abrupt and north outskirts of Ak Hill with distance of 1 km from Pasa Bonds. The Zelve Oren Place formed from three valleys is the place having the most intensive chimney rocks formed in the volcanic tufas. The chimneys rocks from the valley are with sharpen ends and large trunks. Furthermore there are many settlements places in the volcanic tufas used for hiding by the first Christians trying to escape from the Roman soldiers. In these settlement places there are many abbeys and churches. The church named Direkli Church from the outskirts of the valley belongs to the first years of abbey life from Zelve. The relief crosses preferred in the trimmings of the churches are mostly iconoclastic. The most important churches of the valley are Balikli, Üzümlü and Geyikli Churches dated before this period. In the valley other than the churches there are found accommodation places, tunnel opened to the two valleys, mill, mosques and dovecotes.

Hallo Andreas!
Wieder einmal hat es sich "ausgezahlt", dass Du ausgetretene Touristenpfade verlassen hast (wie schon so oft). Dieser Anblick ist ja wirklich umwerfend eindrucksvoll. Das Seitenlicht hat hier noch zusätzlich geholfen, all diese Kegel im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes "herauszuarbeiten". Ein Ort, an dem man wohl aus dem Staunen nicht herauskommt.
TrekEarth vom Feinsten ...
Einen schönen Sonntag aus Westfalen!

Bonjour
un bel assemblage de ces trois photos qui donnent un très beau résultat avec tous ces trous dans la pierre, c'est curieux, je l'avais déjà vu mais je suis toujours aussi étonnée de voir cette beauté et comme le dit JJC sans touristes, ce qui est étonnant
bon dimanche

Hallo Andreas.
this place is surelly amazing and this 3 in 1 panorama just helps us to feel it even better.
Looking at it it seems like the mountains are becoming alive and those holes in it are likes mouths and eyes.
It's really a marvel of mother nature and this photo trully shows it.

Cheers.

Bonjour Andréas
Sais tu qu'au bord de la Loire entre Blois et Angers des grottes troglodytes sont encore habitées de nos jours ?
Belle vue sur cet ancien village naturel.
Bonne luminosité ambiante et les ombres claires accentue le relief de l'image.
Amitiés
