Ballooning in Cappadocia

2011-05-12 by Aleksandr Shatskih

The breathtaking landscape of Cappadocia

Thousands of years ago, the ancient region of Anatolia in Turkey was a very violent place – angry volcanoes exploding with an intensity of the like we will never see today, blasting rocks, molten lava and red hot clouds of ash and dust into the sky for miles around.

2010-12-22 by Phil Butler

Garni Temple dating to the third Century BC
