Rugged Terrain, Cappadocia, Turkey

Wind, Water, Sun and Time

The landscape of Cappadocia is volcanic, a thick layer of volcanic ash that has been assaulted, eroded, dissolved and sculpted by wind and water through the ages.

Many visitors use the word moonscape to describe it, but in fact it’s much more dramatic and beautiful than the landscape of the moon.

For one thing, the moon has no wind and no water, and only half of it gets sunshine!

Really, Cappadocia may well be the most beautiful place on earth for ballooning. It’s even better than being out of this world.
