7th century monastery

el nazar church: museum keeper's office

ancient views, ancient steps

8th century church carved into a rock: El Nazar, Goreme, Cappadocia

this is supposedly Constantine

my cave room

Goreme. Somehow this is real and I am still on Earth.

i have arrived and will be staying in paradise

...and suddenly the landscape changes

Salt Lake

If you could see this for real, the lake would be glowing red and completely still.

on my way to Goreme, Cappadocia, protected from the 'evil eye'

home sweet not home. the only photo of my stay in ankara.

here's most of my gear laid out. a mess just like my bedroom at home. it was great to have my own room for a couple of nights, and sadly this was the best part of ankara. the city was not welcoming to me, or maybe just to tourists in general. i would have felt awkward taking any pictures there... and there really weren't any i wanted to take anyhow.

beginning of second week, mountain views from the bus... on route between istanbul and ankara
