Fairy Chimneys of Cappadocia
Cappadocia's fairy chimneys are volcanic cones that eroded into these distinctive shapes.  You can see my favorite wide angle shot from the Valley of the Fairy Chimneys by clicking Here .
The fairy chimneys are suggestive of many different things.  You can check out my video of Turkey to see the manner in which I chose to present them.

The fairy chimneys are not suitable for residences.  But cave housing is still commonplace in modern Cappadocia. The finely carved cave house above includes a garage on the right, complete with car.  Might be a 2-car garage.  I also saw motels for tourists carved from the caves. 
As shown on the prior page Cappadocia was traditionally a Christian land.  But Turkey and Greece traded population groups to reduce the numbers of religious minorities.  So today Moslems, such as the woman above, live here. 
These are Moslem residents of the Cappadocia village we visited.  They live in fairly normal houses.  In the center is a satellite dish, which is how Turkish TV brings the modern world to Cappadocia.
