This picture was taken in Cappadocia, Turkey. Cappadocia is home to one of the strangest landscapes I have seen in my life. Large rock structures of may different shapes and sizes jut out of the ground throughout this interesting region with a very interesting history. Some places remind me of the Grand Canyon while other remind me a desert, but different from any I’ve seen before. This particular picture was taken near some of the many common rock houses in Cappadocia.
The houses in the rock are surprisingly comfortable as they keep the desert temperatures outside and give the dweller a cool temperature inside. They were used for protection from enemies and for hiding during the ancient times and Cappadocia is even mentioned in the Bible a few times and was visited by Paul.
While staying in Cappadocia I got to experience first hand sleeping in a house carved out of the rock. I stayed in a hostel that was carved out of rock and really enjoyed the experience. The temperature inside was perfect and it was a very pleasant experience. If you are in Turkey, I highly recommend taking a couple days to go explore Cappadocia.
See it big here.
