Zelve Valley in Cappadocia, Turkey, features unique rock formations with historic dwellings and caves carved into the soft tuff rock. The formations have a distinct pointed shape, eroded over centuries by wind and rain. The openings and windows are remnants of ancient settlements, reflecting the area's history as a monastic center. The light beige tuff rock contrasts with patches of green vegetation at the base. This landscape showcases the intricate relationship between natural geology and human adaptation. |
