Zelve - Fairy Chimneys

by Kuznetsov_Sergey - last update: Jun 10, 2009

Cappadocia - Zelve - Pasabagi
The Zelve Valley is known as the Zelve Open Air Museum. It is among the earliest-settled and last-abandoned monastic valleys in Cappadocia. Zelve is well-known as the area in which the most interesting 'fairy chimneys' are situated. Fairy chimneys here have sharp points and thick trunks.
Unfortunately I haven't been to Zelve Open Air Museum itself, I didn't see the Love valley (may be next time). But I was happy enjoy the Pasabagi Valley and the Devrent Valley.

You can see my 36 high resolution photos about the Pasabagi valley Turkey Cappadocia Pasabagi out of my Webshot page.

You can also see my 44 high resolution photos about the Devrent valley Turkey Cappadocia Devrent Valley out of my Webshot page.

 Oh wow, your music selection is ... adorable! Tchaikowsky!! And this vivid Turkish one :-) Fantastic sights, these chimneys. Haha, and you are wondering why the girls form these strange objects in the ceramic shops :-)

 I have never seen such outstanding fairy chimneys. For me, the three-headed fairy chimneys make me think of a group of morel! But morel are phallic too! VT location data base is full of traps!

 Truly fascinating fairy chimneys, esp. Camel Chimney. Enjoyed your photos and explanation of how the chimneys were formed. Excellent page Sergey.
