After the "shock and awe" of my previous video blog titles "For No One" I think it would be appropriate for a little peace. This contains photos I've taken of Cappadocia, the volcanic region of Turkey, over a few visits. The first part consists of aerial views then we come down to ground somewhat although it's hard to really come down to ground in Cappadocia.
The name Cappadocia comes from the Latin for hose and region as it was once very wooded and fertile area for horses before the trees were cut down and over cultivation took place. It is still a very fertile region requiering only a little water to make crops explode into growth as it is predominately volcanic ash which itself is extremely fertile. At one time the solidified volcanic ash called tufa was carved out to form dwellings and churches. Some cave houses are still lived in and some cave churches are still in use.
Music is by Jade Warrior titles At Peace from the album of the same name.
