Dogubayazit
Still a little tired we meandered our way though the town, admiring the creative way that these formations have eroded into hundreds of spectacular pillars and minaret-like forms. The volcanic deposits are soft rocks that the people of the villages at the heart of the Cappadocia Region carved out to form homes, hotels, shops and places of worship.
The colours were spectacular and it was well worth the detour inland to see the rocks of Cappadocia.
Driving from Cappadocia, towards the border town of Dougbayazit, we witnessed a developing thunderstorm in the distance. Later, as we passed under the storm front, on some flat planes, fork lightening hit a field which in turn started a fire or two. Although we are not sure, this may be a possible explanation for the burnt out patches of fields we had passed over the last few days.
... and below are some random photos from the day!
