Pamukkale, Turkey


Postcard pic of Pamukkale. Here's a quote to explain the phenomenon..."The scientific explanation is that hot thermal springs pouring down the hillside deposit calcium carbonate, which solidifies as travertine. If you take off your shoes, you can gingerly roam the terraces or paddle in the pools. The Turks have dubbed this geological fairyland Pamukkale, or 'cotton castle'."
