Winter in Turkey Impressions #9: Cappadocia
Winter in Turkey impressions #8: Göbekli Tepe was of my highlights of the trip. Amazing display of earliest architectures of human beings. This buildings wasn’t used as settlement like Karahan Tepe, rather they were for spiritual use, but quite sure for astronomical observations.
From there i tried to visit also Nemrut Dagi, but couldn’t reach it due the snow. At least i got a wonderful sight of winter-wonderland in Anatolia.
Winter in Turkey Impressions #7: The way to Karahan Tepe brought me to a lovely campsite at the mediterranean sea near Iskenderun, before i continue my trip along the Syrian border to Sanliurfa, near the archeological site. This was merely a week before the huge, disastrous earthquake.
Karahan Tepe is one of the oldest settlement of human history. It is around 10000-12000 years old. Humans settled here approximately 10’000 – 12’000 years ago. Just discovered on early 2000’s it’s a rather young excavation site. In winter the work is paused and many areas are covered in tarpaulin.
Winter in Turkey Impressions #5: A friend from Istanbul spent some times in Kas. I followed his invitation and he kindly showed me around in the area. One of the highlights was also the Church of Saint Nicholas from Demre, the real ‚Santa Claus‘, who was kind to children and gave them gifts.
Turkey in winter impressions #4: I spent New Years Eve in Antalya and surroundings, where i found a super nice family renting me out a room in their airBnB. Beside that i met again a travel mate from an earlier trip in Africa and made more friends.
Winter in Turkey Impressions #3: Heliopolis, an ancient roman town, lies just in the mountains above Pamukkale. Get your impressions here:
Winter in Turkey Impressions #2: Pamukkale is famous for its sinter terraces
A dear friend and fellow photographer asked me to join her for a trip to the Swiss Alps.
Actually we supposed to find some Alpine chamois to observe and photograph. But we were unlucky with this task. However, we had a perfect weather for collecting some impressions from the landscape.
I took some time to visit dear friends on my way back. One of them invited me to a pretty special place to camp on a private, very idyllic pond, where we had a barbeque and nice chat.
Every journey comes to an end, but the good memories stays.
No comments needed, just impressions from my stay in beautiful, bustling and interesting Copenhagen:
