Rainbow and cracked fairy chimney in Cappadocia, Turkey.
A setting for one of the strangest landscapes in the world, the region's deep valleys and soaring rock formations are of volcanic origin, slowly eroding away to create the strange "Fairy Chimneys" (so called because locals thought they were so magical and extraordinary that only fairies could have created them).
Many of these fairy chimneys have been hollowed out by industrious ancient people, who created homes, chapels, tombs and pigeon houses from the soft, easy-to-carve rock.
