Cappadocia people watching

We got to go to the top of an old fortress where you can see for miles all around you. The picture below is just one of the hundred I took of the beautiful landscape...


While sitting at the top of the fortress, I discovered that tourists weren't the only ones to come visit. I don't know if locals climb up very often, but there def were Turkish people that came to see the sites as well. I really enjoyed watching the different people and thus took pictures of the variety of people I saw.

A young couple talking & gazing out at the view

A young girl that was playing with her friend 

A young lady enjoying the sun and breeze 

A father letting his daughter use the pay-to see telescope  

A tourist teenager resting and appears to be contemplating 

His parents enjoying the view and each other's company 

A father bringing his daughter away from the edge after getting a picture taken 

A little girl drinking some juice that you could buy at the top of the fortress 

A lady with her cover up (don't remember the name). They don't like pictures being taken, so it was nice to get one of her... it was really cool to see that they enjoy getting out and seeing the sites as well. 

A cute couple that must have been newlyweds since you rarely see them this close or holding hands. 

I like this one showing them interacting a little bit & the way they are holding each other's hand.

A picture of a group of women and others looking out the telescope. I enjoyed their laughter and watching them interact with each other. 

A little kid munching on candied chickpeas or hazelnuts... 

My sunset picture from the fortress. Isn't God's creations amazing?

  1. It was nice to see the different people and their clothes. Thanks for the info about their typical dress and how close/not so close they usually stand.

    Candied chickpeas???? Never heard of them. Do they taste like sugared peanuts?

    Loved the sunset.
