Pamukkale
Pamukkale - a Denizli classic
Located at 37.92 degrees north and 29.12 degrees east, Pamukkale is a place where natural wonders meet history. It is located 20 km north of Denizli, a city in Southwest Turkey. Hot water (37 C) containing a high concentration of calcium bicarbonate gushes from springs and spill over the rocks of a mountain side towards the valley, leaving its calcium on the rocks in the process. The result is what you see in the photo. The site is also home to anitique Greek and Roman civilizations, used to be known as Hierapolis - Sacred City if I am not wrong. Pamukkale is the Turkish name given to the site meaning Fortress-of-Cotton. The fortress might be the ancient city walls or fortress-like structures that were around. Cotton refers to the cotton-white travertine rocks that have formed by the hot waters.
I will add more pictures in a series I shot during my last visit to the place. I refer you to Wikipedia for further information.
Pamukkala'yi bilmeyeniniz yoktur. Dolayisiyla Ingilizce pargaraftaki bilgileri burada tekrarlamiyorum. Gelmek isteyenlere tavsiyem: SLR kameraniz, varsa UV filtreniz, CP filtreniz, zoom objektifiniz ve tripodunuzla gelin. Panorama, HDR ve gun batimi calismalarini tavsiye ederim. Saat 18:00 den sonra turlarla gelen kalabaliklar cekiliyor. Iki saat sonra o guzelim gun batimi ile basbasa kaliyorsunuz.
