Pin Up's (Delta Calendar 1998) September
Marta again. This photo also belongs to the series of photos called "Souvenirs from My Basement" (various girls chained to the giant mushroom, taken in different color games) I presented in Contemporary Art Center in Warsaw under the title "New Adventures of Orphan Mary or Fulfillment of the Dreams". The expo consisted from photos, totemic installation (mushroom in pink cave - I build it myself, my mom sewed the white spots on top) and sound ambient by Robert Nizinski. Actually the set itself was very pink which is not visible in this cross-processed image.
Happy Flare Friday (I have been trying to get flare for quite some time. More difficult than I thought!)

Cappadocia ( also Capadocia; Turkish: Kapadokya, Greek: Καππαδοκία Kappadokía, from Ancient Greek: Καππαδοκία, from Old Persian: Katpatuka ) is a historical region in Central Anatolia, largely in the Nevşehir, Kayseri, Kırşehir, Aksaray, and Niğde Provinces in Turkey.
According to Herodotus, in the time of the Ionian Revolt (499 BC), the Cappadocians were reported as occupying a region from Mount Taurus to the vicinity of the Euxine (Black Sea). Cappadocia, in this sense, was bounded in the south by the chain of the Taurus Mountains that separate it from Cilicia, to the east by the upper Euphrates, to the north by Pontus, and to the west by Lycaonia and eastern Galatia.
The name, traditionally used in Christian sources throughout history, continues in use as an international tourism concept to define a region of exceptional natural wonders, in particular characterized by fairy chimneys and a unique historical and cultural heritage
Cappadocia lies in central Anatolia, in the heartland of what is now Turkey. The relief consists of a high plateau over 1000 m in altitude that is pierced by volcanic peaks, with Mount Erciyes (ancient Argaeus) near Kayseri (ancient Caesarea) being the tallest at 3916 m. The boundaries of historical Cappadocia are vague, particularly towards the west. To the south, the Taurus Mountains form the boundary with Cilicia and separate Cappadocia from the Mediterranean Sea. To the west, Cappadocia is bounded by the historical regions of Lycaonia to the southwest, and Galatia to the northwest. The Black Sea coastal ranges separate Cappadocia from Pontus and the Black Sea, while to the east Cappadocia is bounded by the upper Euphrates, before that river bends to the southeast to flow into Mesopotamia, and the Armenian Highland. This results in an area approximately 400 km (250 mi) east–west and 250 km (160 mi) north–south. Due to its inland location and high altitude, Cappadocia has a markedly continental climate, with hot dry summers and cold snowy winters. Rainfall is sparse and the region is largely semi-arid.

Fifty photos in the order that I took them on my Necklace Valley hike are in this album: www.flickr.com/photos/jlcummins_photography/sets/72157656...
I spent 3 days (July 22-25) backpacking in Necklace Valley which is located near Skykomish Washington in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. The trail begins on an old railroad grade for the first 1.5 miles, on a flat bench that meanders through second growth timber. Along the trail you see large cedar stumps with springboard notches chopped in the huge trunks. The trail follows the banks of the East Fork Foss River for about 3 miles in mixed forest. There are a few huge cedar trees along the trail and after several miles a large meadow is visible through the trees. Then, at 5 miles, you will reach the end of the relativity flat trail where it crosses the river. Between 4 and 5 mile marks there are several nice campsite close to the river. Once over the river, the trail heads up through a large boulder field. Now, you will begin a steep upward climb, over 2,400 feet in 2.7 miles to the first lake. At 6.8 miles is a nice footbridge, with a memorial marker, dedicated to the memory of Michael Nesby, originally built in 1973 by the Trailblazers in his honor. From the bridge, it is another mile of steep uphill over terrain with lots of high stepping over, and around large boulders, mud, and tree roots. You reach the first of the Necklace Valley lakes at 7.7 miles (Jade Lake). You soon will come to a log shelter built in the 1950's by the Trail Blazer's, a Seattle based club that volunteers to stock fish in high mountain lakes. The shelter is in disrepair. The trail continues through the Necklace Valley, a string of small meadows between the lakes stretches all the way to the far end of Opal Lake at 9 miles. At about the 10 miles mark on a social trail that splits, one way to La Bohn Lakes, and the other to Tank Lakes is the last camp in the valley. That is where I camped for 2 nights. The boot track up to La Bohn is a climbers route to Mt. Hinman. I hike to La Bohn, the 2 Tank Lakes, and Foehn Lake. During the 3 days I hiked about 30 miles (48.2 km) and gained and lost roughly 5,700 feet (1,737 meters) elevation. Great trip! IMG_6635
