Pamukkale, as the Turks call it, also meaning "Castle of Cotton", is one of the extraordinary wonders of Turkey. The great attraction is the white immensity of the cliff with sculptured basins full of water and congealed waterfalls; they seem made of snow, cloud, cotton.
The scientific explanation is the hot thermal places that lie under the mount provoke the calcium carbonate spill, that makes the forms as solid as travertino marble. These pictures show Mother Natures creativity at its best. Be sure to check out more of Her work in the Nature pics category. More pictures inside..




The whole place changes color in accordance with changes of the solar light that illuminates it, and the effect is suprising..
