The Zelve Monastery is a Byzantine-era monastery that was carved into the rock in pre-iconoclastic times. It is part of the Zelve Open Air Museum, located between Ürgüp and Avanos.[1]
Remains
The remains of the Zelve monastery complex are located on the northern slopes of Aktepe, 1 km from Paşa Bağlari and 10 km out from Göreme on the Avanos road. Zelve does not have the rich frescoes of Göreme and other Cappadocian locations. Zelve is spread out over three valleys, of which two are connected by a tunnel. The complex contains innumerable rooms and passages which also house many pointed fairy chimneys with large stems, at about 40 feet above the valley floor.
The valley was a monastic retreat between the 9th and 13th centuries.[1] Christians moved to Zelve during the Persian and Arab invasions.[citation needed] The site was inhabited until 1952 when villagers were relocated to nearby Aktepe due to safety concerns.[1]
Cappadocia's first seminaries to train priests are located here at the monastery. Dating back to the early years of monastery life in Zelve is the Direkli Church (with the famed columns). Direkli is located at the bottom of the slope. The main decorations are iconoclastic-doctrine high relief crosses. The valley also contains the Balikli Kilise (Fish), Üzümlü Kilise (Grapes) churches and the now totally collapsed Geyikli Kilise (Deer church). These churches date to the pre-iconoclastic period.
The area was inhabited until 1952, when the last inhabitants moved to the new town Yeni Zelve ("New Zelve"), 2 km away. In 1967, Zelve was turned into an open-air museum.
The area also contains houses, a tunnel joining two of the valleys, a mill (without sails), and a small mosque. Several dovecotes are found in the valley.

whc.unesco.org/en/list/357
In a spectacular landscape, entirely sculpted by erosion, the Göreme valley and its surroundings contain rock-hewn sanctuaries that provide unique evidence of Byzantine art in the post-Iconoclastic period. Dwellings, troglodyte villages and underground towns – the remains of a traditional human habitat dating back to the 4th century – can also be seen there.
Brief synthesis
Located on the central Anatolia plateau within a volcanic landscape sculpted by erosion to form a succession of mountain ridges, valleys and pinnacles known as “fairy chimneys” or hoodoos, Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia cover the region between the cities of Nevşehir, Ürgüp and Avanos, the sites of Karain, Karlık, Yeşilöz, Soğanlı and the subterranean cities of Kaymaklı and Derinkuyu. The area is bounded on the south and east by ranges of extinct volcanoes with Erciyes Dağ (3916 m) at one end and Hasan Dağ (3253 m) at the other. The density of its rock-hewn cells, churches, troglodyte villages and subterranean cities within the rock formations make it one of the world's most striking and largest cave-dwelling complexes. Though interesting from a geological and ethnological point of view, the incomparable beauty of the decor of the Christian sanctuaries makes Cappadocia one of the leading examples of the post-iconoclastic Byzantine art period.
It is believed that the first signs of monastic activity in Cappadocia date back to the 4th century at which time small anchorite communities, acting on the teachings of Basileios the Great, Bishop of Kayseri, began inhabiting cells hewn in the rock. In later periods, in order to resist Arab invasions, they began banding together into troglodyte villages or subterranean towns such as Kaymakli or Derinkuyu which served as places of refuge.
Cappadocian monasticism was already well established in the iconoclastic period (725-842) as illustrated by the decoration of many sanctuaries which kept a strict minimum of symbols (most often sculpted or tempera painted crosses). However, after 842 many rupestral churches were dug in Cappadocia and richly decorated with brightly coloured figurative painting. Those in the Göreme Valley include Tokalı Kilise and El Nazar Kilise (10th century), St. Barbara Kilise and Saklı Kilise (11th century) and Elmalı Kilise and Karanlık Kilise (end of the 12th – beginning of the 13th century).
Criterion (i): Owing to their quality and density, the rupestral sanctuaries of Cappadocia constitute a unique artistic achievement offering irreplaceable testimony to the post-iconoclastic Byzantine art period.
Criterion (iii): The rupestral dwellings, villages, convents and churches retain the fossilized image of a province of the Byzantine Empire between the 4th century and the arrival of the Seljuk Turks (1071). Thus, they are the essential vestiges of a civilization which has disappeared.
Criterion (v): Cappadocia is an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement which has become vulnerable under the combined effects of natural erosion and, more recently, tourism.
Criterion (vii): In a spectacular landscape dramatically demonstrating erosional forces, the Göreme Valley and its surroundings provide a globally renowned and accessible display of hoodoo landforms and other erosional features, which are of great beauty, and which interact with the cultural elements of the landscape.
Integrity
Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia, having been extensively used and modified by man for centuries, is a landscape of harmony combining human interaction and settlement with dramatic natural landforms. There has been some earthquake damage to some of the cones and the pillars, but this is seen as a naturally occurring phenomenon. Overuse by tourists and some vandalism have been reported and some incompatible structures have been introduced.
The erosional processes that formed the distinctive conical rock structures will continue to create new fairy chimneys and rock pillars, however due to the rate of this process, the natural values of the property may still be threatened by unsustainable use. The cultural features, including rock-hewn churches and related cultural structures, mainly at risk of being undermined by erosion and other negative natural processes coupled with mass tourism and development pressures, can never be replaced. threats Some of the churches mentioned by early scholars such as C. Texier, H.G. Rott and Guillaume de Jerphanion are no longer extant.
Authenticity
The property meets the conditions of authenticity as its values and their attributes, including its historical setting, form, design, material and workmanship adequately reflect the cultural and natural values recognized in the inscription criteria.
Given the technical difficulties of building in this region, where it is a matter of hewing out structures within the natural rock, creating architecture by the removal of material rather than by putting it together to form the elements of a building, the underlying morphological structure and the difficulties inherent in the handling of the material inhibited the creative impulses of the builders. This conditioning of human effort by natural conditions persisted almost unchanged through successive periods and civilizations, influencing the cultural attitudes and technical skills of each succeeding generation.
Protection and management requirements
The World Heritage property Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia is subject to legal protection in accordance with both the Protection of Cultural and Natural Resources Act No. 2863 and the National Parks Act No. 2873. The entire territory between the cities of Nevşehir, Ürgüp and Avanos is designated as a National Park under the Act No. 2873. In addition, natural, archaeological, urban, and mixed archaeological and natural conservation areas, two underground towns, five troglodyte villages, and more than 200 individual rock-hewn churches, some of which contain numerous frescoes, have been entered into the register of immovable monuments and sites according to the Act No. 2863.
Legal protection, management and monitoring of the Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia fall within the scope of national and regional governmental administrations. The Nevşehir and Kayseri Regional Conservation Councils are responsible for keeping the register of monuments and sites, including carrying out all tasks related to the legal protection of monuments and listed buildings and the approval to carry out any restoration-related works. They also evaluate regional and conservation area plans prepared by the responsible national and/or local (i.e. municipal) authorities.
Studies for revision and updating of the existing land use and conservation plan (Göreme National Park Long-term Development Plan) of 1981 were completed in 2003. The major planning decisions proposed were that natural conservation areas are to be protected as they were declared in 1976. Minor adjustments in the peripheral areas of settlements and spatial developments of towns located in the natural conservation sites including Göreme, Ortahisar, Çavuşin, Ürgüp and Mustafapaşa will be strictly controlled. In other words, the Plan proposes to confine the physical growth of these towns to recently established zones. Hotel developments will take into account the set limits for room capacities. Furthermore, the plan also suggested that local authorities should be advised to review land use decisions for areas that have been reserved for tourism developments in the town plans.
Preparation of conservation area plans for the urban and/or mixed urban-archaeological conservation sites within the historic sections of Göreme are in place and provide zoning criteria and the rules and guidelines to be used in the maintenance and restoration of listed buildings and other buildings which are not registered, but which are located within the historic zones. Similar planning studies for the towns of Ortahisar and Uçhisar are in place. Once finalised, a conservation area plan for the urban conservation area in Ürgüp will be in place. All relevant plans are kept up to date on a continuing basis.
Appropriate facilities aimed at improving the understanding of the World Heritage property have been completed for the subterranean towns of Kaymaklı and Derinkuyu, and are required for Göreme and Paşabağı.
Monuments in danger due to erosion, including the El Nazar, Elmalı, and Meryemana (Virgin Mary) churches, have been listed as monuments requiring priority action. Specific measures for their protection, restoration and maintenance are required at the site level.
While conservation plans and protection measures are in place for individual sites, it is recognised by the principal parties responsible for site management that an integrated Regional Plan for the Cappadocia Cultural and Tourism Conservation and Development Area is required to protect the World Heritage values of the property. Adequate financial, political and technical support is also required to secure the management of the property.

ZELVE VİDEO;
This photograph dates from April 2013. I just discovered a few days ago that the Irish Naval Service vessel LE Emer, which stood down in September 2013 after 35 years, was sold to a new owner. The vessel was sold at auction in Cork for €320,000 to London based Nigerian businessman Cyprian Imobhio.
My understanding is that the ship is now in the hands of the Nigerian Navy as the NNS Prosperity.
LÉ Emer was built in Ireland to the basic design of the Naval Service’s first purpose built Offshore Patrol Vessel, the LÉ Deirdre but was modified to improve stability and speed. Her original BOFORS 40mm L60 gun was recently upgraded to a BOFORS 40mm L70 thus improving the range and accuracy of her main armament.
Operationally, LÉ Emer chalked up a notable first when she undertook the first ever deployment of an Irish naval ship to resupply Irish troops serving with the United Nations troops in Lebanon in 1979. This was the first of many such deployments and the Naval Service now frequently supports Irish troops abroad.
A notable operation in her history was her part in the apprehension of the Marita Anne in 1984, which stopped after warning shots were fired by Emer and which was found to be carrying a significant quantity of arms and ammunition.
LÉ Emer is associated with Cork University Hospital and conducts fund raising efforts on its behalf around the coast. Although all the ships’ homeport is Haulbowline Island in Cork Harbour, LÉ Emer has a particularly close relationship with the city of Cork itself.
Emer from Celtic Mythology
Emer was the principal wife of Cúchulainn and the daughter of a chieftain from Rush, County Dublin, hence the Harp of Leinster. The fire relates to her description as burning with the seven virtues of womanhood, with seven flames rising from the fire. This particular symbolism is not clear, as Emer is not mentioned much in ancient literature. She appears as a major character in 'Bricriú Feat' and in one of 'Réamscéala' to the 'Táin Bó Cuailnge', which dealt with meeting and marriage to Cuchulainn.
Where she is mentioned, Emer is depicted as a proud, dominant, hot tempered, violent and sexually demanding female aristocrat who tolerates no rivals. War hero that Cuchulainn was, he always treated her with considerable respect and indeed circumspection.
And be sure to check by my other acount: www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?path=&nsid=77145939%40..., to see what else I saw this week!!
Yes I'm back again.
However due to my main computer on which I edit my work being struck down with a big bad virus, this picture and all the others I am uploading, were Unedited but have now been replaced with Edited versions. So enjoy and Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I do still hate everything about this shit that is new Flickr and always will, but an inability to find another outlet for my work that is as easy for me to use as the Old BETTER Flickr was, has forced me back to Flickr, even though it goes against everything I believe in.
I don't generally have an opinion on my own work, I prefer to leave that to other people and so based on the positive responses to my work from the various friends I had made on Flickr prior to the changes I have decided to upload some more of my work as an experiment and to see what happens.
So make the most of me before they delete my acount: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/?details=1, to stop me complaining!!

my Photographs will always be inadequate if there are no “Adequate” understanding behind them
and... maybe words are inadequate to describe human expressions !
No matter how I “Word” something or do my best to describe it.... the words will never do justice to the actual experience or the message
I need to convey through my photographs.
I feel privileged, that my “Viewers” never fail to understand the message beneath the photograph, despite my inadequate Words !
Thank You for being with me and thank you for your “Adequate” Words..... Arman.

“Understanding suffering is very important.
The practice of meditation is designed not to develop pleasure but to understand the truth of suffering; and in order to understand the truth of suffering, one also has to understand the truth of awareness.
When true awareness takes place, suffering does not exist. Through awareness, suffering is somewhat changed in its perspective.
It is not necessarily that you do not suffer, but the haunting quality that fundamentally you are in trouble is removed.
It is like removing a splinter.
It might
hurt, and you might still feel pain, but the basic cause of that pain, the ego, has been removed.”
“Removing the splinter of ego” from Chapter Three, "The Power of Flickering Thoughts," in “the truth of suffering and the path of liberation”, based on talks at the Vajradhatu Seminaries conducted by Chogyam Trungpa.
This young man was removing a splinter from his foot as he was sitting along the Ganges in Varanasi (Benaras).
He reminded me a Greek sculpture from the Hellenistic department which is in Le Louvre museum in Paris.

One of the last HPE models, the VX was the most powerful one in my understanding. This one looked nicely presented, maybe a fairly recent restoration. The shop just behind it seemed to specialise in car parts, so no doubt connected to that.

Dare to dream
Observing the trucks is a good way of understanding the political and economic history of a country.
In Myanmar, for example, I could still find some old American military trucks left over from World War II, kept alive by creative village blacksmiths. The only trucks from the 1960s to 1990s were Japanese, mostly Hino THs, apparently every other country boycotted the military junta. In the new millenium a greater variety of trucks appeared on Burmese streets, increasingly Chinese ones.
In Cambodia I have now seen all kinds of Soviet trucks, but most of them were 40 years old or older. The only post-Soviet vehicle still sold in Cambodia today is the Беларус tractor.
This is the mighty Урал truck, produced in Miass. I have also seen КрАЗ, ЗиЛ, ГАЗ, МАЗ and lots of КАМАЗ trucks along the country roads of Cambodia.

“Life Underground” is a permanent public artwork created in 2001 by American sculptor Tom Otterness for the 14th Street - Eighth Avenue station of the NYC Subway. The installation is a series of whimsical miniature bronze sculptures depicting cartoon like characters showing people and animals in various situations, and additional abstract sculptures, which are dispersed throughout the station platforms and passageways. The sculptor said the subject of the work is "the impossibility of understanding life in New York” and describes the arrangement of the individual pieces as being “scattered in little surprises”
While at the Fort Smith Trolley Museum, Arkansas and Missouri #52 rumbled by forcing me to excuse myself from a very nice and understanding trolley tour guide so I could grab a pic of a smoking and steaming Alco. Given the recent and still dripping rain, smoke and steam were present. #52 is an Alco C420 which was ex Lehigh and Hudson River #23 and later Conrail #2073.
I rarely spent time with my Dad while I was growing up. I lived with my Grandparents for most of my life. I met my Mom a handful of times. It has been more than 20 years since I've seen her last. I still talk to my Dad and we try to forge a relationship. When I was younger, when I did see him, he would take me to interesting places like this one. I understand, Dad. I'm just thankful for the time we did spend together.

I needed a break from work so I took Friday off and walked around my favorite nature preserve. It was a day of calm with gentle rain and rich spring colors to die for. As I wandered for some seven hours, I saw deer (okay, only their white tails running away from me), a crane, a mama goose on her eggs, a group of wood ducks, and a variety of midwestern birds like this guy. We made eye contact and came to the simple understanding that I would sit still and make no sudden moves and he would pose like a model and give me every look in the book :-)
For everyone to share since a lot of this has been just glanced at without further thought, controversy and discussion.

"There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand."
This image is one of three pieces I created for a Pee-wee Herman themed art show. Initially I knew I wanted to make surreal shots with Pee-wee. When I started looking up locations and re-watching Pee Wee's Big Adventure over and over I stumped upon something deep n juicy.
-Present-
In the 1985 film Pee-wee's Big Adventure the address seen on Pee Wee's house is 1848. This is the address of the house in real life and the address seen on screen. The left side of Pee Wee's front yard is filled with Native Americans, a teepee, and a totem pole. Moving right you see domesticated animals, a SCUBA diver, and finally on the far right a rocket ship. Smack in the middle, above the front door is the address 1848. 1848 is the year gold was discovered in California.
At first gold nuggets were easily picked off the ground by independent prospectors. Later, gold was recovered from streams and riverbeds using panning techniques. The craving for gold led miners to develop more sophisticated methods. Technology advanced and soon gold prospecting reached a point where significant manpower was required, thus increasing the proportion of gold companies to individual miners.
Early in the film, while inside Chuck's Bike-O-Rama Pee-wee claims to be a "rebel" and a "loner" and it's after making these claims that Pee-wee loses his most valued possession.
-Past-
When Pee-wee's friends can't help him get a lead on his missing bike he turns to a fortune teller, Madam Ruby. Madam Ruby convinces Pee-wee his bike is in the basement of the Alamo.
The gold discovery of 1848 happened in January. Moving forward through the year we have another major event. In February 1848 the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is signed. This is the treaty that ended the Mexican-American war. The Battle of the Alamo was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution and a predecessor to the Mexican-American War. All Texians were slain. America got it's ass kicked. It was a loss that prompted soldiers to fight harder than ever for what they believed in.
After arriving at the Alamo Pee-wee takes the guided tour and finds there is no basement. His whole search is derailed. But why would Madam Ruby mislead him? She didn't. He misinterpreted.
What if I told you Morpheus was Cowboy Curtis on Pee-wee's Playhouse? Morpheus is the Greek god of dreams. The opening scene to Pee-wee's Big Adventure is a dream. Enroute to the Alamo Pee-wee has an intimate discussion about dreams with Simone, inside the mouth of a T-Rex.
In dream mythology the location of a basement represents our hidden motives, unconscious, unknown feelings, memories or past experiences, your biological past, and the place where your conscious mind contacts hidden powers, universal wisdom, and even other minds. It is from the basement, below, or within, that libido or life force arises. Fears and terrors sometimes come from downstairs. This is because it is the place we hide our old memories and hurts – in the unconscious. But it also holds the understanding of your wholeness.
Back to the movie. After his loss at the Alamo, Pee-wee goes to a bus station where he happens to run into a very excited Simone. Simone is on her way to France. She's following her dream. Going back to that opening scene to the film it was Pee-wee's dream to win the Tour de France.
Moving even further through the year 1848 we get to a wave of revolutions, a series of widespread struggles for more open-minded governments which spread as far as Latin American. And where did all these revolutions begin? France. When Pee-wee tells Simon the Alamo was built without a basement he says, "They don't tell you that stuff in school, it's something you just have to experience." Pee-wee is having an inner revolution.
Next he calls Dottie in the Bike-O-Rama and apologizes. He says he's learned something out there on the road, humility.
-Future-
Throughout his journey Pee-wee learns the power of making others happy. He inspires Simon to follow her dreams, entertains a crowd at a Texas Rodeo, and dances for the Satan's Helpers in a biker bar. All this before discovering his bike, his treasure, his gold is in California.
The revolutions of 1848 end in Austria. In December the Emperor, Ferdinand I willingly stepped down from the thrown. Remember the opening scene to the movie, Pee-wee is millimeters from being crowned (victor of tour de France) when his alarm clock wakes him, spiraling him into the most pivotal day of his life, the day he lost everything, an ass kicking that pushed him to fight harder than ever.
Pee-wee's Big Adventure ends with Pee Wee playing a bit part in the story of his life. During the premiere of his big movie Pee Wee gives back to all the people who've helped him in his journey. And at last, loner no more, selflessly he rides off with the real gold, eternal love.
Icing on the cake:
while inside the Magic Shop the last thing Mario offers Pee-wee is a blue boomerang bowtie, to which he responds: "Come in red?" Pee-wee took the red bowtie, he willingly chose to leave the slave world and see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Double icing on the cake:
the first image of Pee-wee in waking life is him putting on rabbit slippers.
Triple icing on the cake:
Pee-wee leaps on the fireman pole in his house and slides down the hole.

"Understanding Society" is the main theme of Tilburg University in the southern province of Noord Brabant of The Netherlands. But there's only so much 'understanding' a visiting committee can take in at one sitting. So we went on a couple of pleasant walks through the spaciously laid out campus. There's a wonderful, rectangular pond with modern sculpture, and walking in the low, bright sun rays this view delighted our eyes: truly Blazing Autumnal Waters. My precise little Sony T900 recorded what we saw as faithfully as I remember it...
A bit facetiously it might be added that the ciitzens of Tilburg are proud to ply their once offensive nickname of "Kruikezeikers" (Pot-pissers). Tilburg grew from various impoverished hamlets where sheep grazing was the main occupation. The wool was then shipped out to other places. But in early-modern times, households began their own wool industry, taking textile making into their own hands, as it were. Hardly a home could be found without a loom. Industry-size millhouses were established in the nineteenth century, and Tilburg became the wool and textile capital of the Netherlands. In former times, urine was necessary for wool-processing, and it was collected in earthenware jars. Hence that Tilburg epitheton (now fashionably) ornans!
Incidentally, it was this kind of industry that Karl Marx decried in the nineteenth century and led him to write "Das Kapital". Students of the then still Catholic University in 1969 for a short time effected a change of name for their institution, calling it Karl Marx Universiteit.
Whatever the case, after our little stretching of the legs we again turned to "Understanding Society".

We have the Winter Solstice coming up soon so I am going to try to explain what it is all about. We all know there is 24 hours in a day so what is this Shortest Day all about.
The reason we have any seasons is because the earth has a 23.5 degree tilt. In the summer months the sun shines directly on our USA country, in the Winter we get the weak angular rays. This country averages well over 100 degrees difference.
In July Death Valley can be well over 100 degrees. In winter much of the North is hovering around zero.
What makes all the difference is the latitude where you live. On the longest day in June, Seattle gets about 13 hours of sunlight, while Miami gets around 11. Norway is called the land of the Midnight sun. In Summer the sun goes below the horizon for only about 40 minutes, then it is up again. In Barrow, Alaska, the sun goes down on November 18th and it comes up again 67 days later on January 23rd.
I hope this has helped to explain some of the mysteries associated with the Solstice.
Layered sedimentary rocks are key to understanding the geologic history of a planet, recording the sequence of deposition and the changes over time in the materials that were deposited.
These layered sediments are on the floor of eastern Coprates Chasma in Valles Marineris, the grandest canyon on Mars. They are erosional remnants of a formerly much more extensive sedimentary deposit that once filled the floor of the canyon but is nowadays reduced to isolated mesas.
