There are a lot of independent walking trails around Goreme (and I’m sure in other parts of Cappadocia as well) to see as many fairy chimneys as you want. We set off early in the afternoon to be one with nature. Not many others seemed to be taking the trails less traveled and for the majority of the afternoon it was just me, Andrew, and the fairy chimneys.
I had left my tripod behind, but piled up our jackets on top of my backpack to set up the self timer for some shots of us sitting on the ridge overlooking the penises, I mean, fairy chimneys. We sat for awhile enjoying the weather and the solitude. I swapped out lenses to get some close ups, can you imagine living at the top of one of these things?
Aside from the towering chimneys, I was also quite taken with the pretty wild flowers. Andrew scolded me for taking pictures of weeds, but I thought they were pretty and deserved a little attention.
