Rock formations, Cappadocia, Turkey
Landscape between Urgup in Nevsehir province and Ortahisar in Trabzon province, Cappadocia, Central Anatolia, Turkey. The rock formations here were made by erosion of the volcanic tuff created by ash from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. Some of the formations have been carved out to form dwellings by early christians who came here to flee persecution by the Romans. This area forms part of the Goreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
