EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1992, showcases the unique and otherworldly landscape of Goreme in Cappadocia, Turkey. The heart of the image is dominated by the iconic fairy chimneys, a geological formation characterized by tall, cone-shaped rocks with a bulbous base and a narrow neck. These natural wonders, also known as hoodoos, have long been a source of fascination and inspiration for visitors from around the world. Nestled among the fairy chimneys is a sunlit tree, its leaves aglow with the golden rays of the sun. The tree stands as a testament to the resilience of life in this extraordinary environment. In the background, traditional cave dwellings carved into the soft volcanic rock can be seen. These homes, known as "katpatuka" or "kappadokia" houses, have been inhabited since the Hittite period and continue to be a distinctive feature of the region. The scene unfolds in the Nevsehir province of Central Anatolia, a region renowned for its rich history and unique geography. The area has long been a popular destination for travelers, with its intriguing architecture, fascinating caves, and breathtaking landscapes. This photograph captures the essence of Cappadocia in the 1990s, a time when tourism was on the rise but the area still retained its authentic charm and character.
