Cappadocia Photo Gallery by Dick Osseman at pbase.com

Cappadocia

Bütün Türkiye resimleri için buraya basınız This gallery is in the Cappadocia and heartland topic

Click here for my page with very many Turkish cities

Cappadocia is a strange region, created by vulcanoes and erosion, with beautiful sights. Note that I have clustered pictures of Göreme and other major sights in separate galleries (with their names in bold text), so clicking on the first pictures will open new galleries.

KAPADOKYA

Kapadokya, volkan ve erozyonların yarattığı güzel manzaralarıyla, farklı bir bölge. Göreme ve diğer önemli yerlerin resimlerini ayrı galerilerde gruplandırdım (adları kalın yazılı), yani ilk resimlere bastığınızda yeni galeriler açılacak.

Dear Mr Osseman, I came across your Cappadcia pictures by chance, but I loved them and I hope I shall see the place itself very soon. I also saw some of your other photoes and they were so nice! Thank you for all of them!

Just finished 3 weeks in Turkey & loved it!! Your photos capture the essence of Cappadocia where I spent 3 days. Wonderful pics! Look @ www.mosaic. com for some great Cappadocia wall hangings.

As a Turkish citizen,I thank you very much.What you have done is really praise worthy.Pictures taken are wonderful and the information you have given about historical places of Turkey is useful.Once again I thank you very much.

Elisabeth		13-Mar-2010 21:45
Danke für diese wundervollen Photos. Wir waren vorige Woche in Kappadokien und haben die Fahrt sehr genossen. Leider konnte man im Göreme-Freilichtmuseum die Kirchen innen nicht photografieren, deshalb bin ich sehr happy, dass ich deine Seite gefunden habe. Liebe Grüße Elisabeth, Austria

Maybe useful for Sandra Cornell: Sinaso, rather Sinason (Greek: Sinassos), got in 1923 the name Mustapha Pasha. See the series pictures under this last name.

Hi Dick, My name is Sandra and I'm from Rio, Brazil. I'm planning to go to Turkey next year; I've already visited many sites to get to know about the country and the best of it to see, but none as good as yours. I'm absolutely fascinated about your pictures (they're simply amazing!!). Just loved your notes (precise and clear) and some of your tips. Very helpful site and pleasing to the eye! For sure I'll come back here now and then to make the most of my trip. Congratulations!! Thank you so much for sharing with us such beautiful country and rich culture!

Dick Osseman		10-Sep-2009 15:16
Thanks for the comment, But it is not "my" country, me being from Holland (Amsterdam to be precise).

Dr.Zlatka Stamatova		10-Sep-2009 14:36
Hi Dick!Congratulations! Wonderful pictures! I made an amazing "trip" along your remarcable country! Thank you for the pleasure!

JPoulis		26-Aug-2009 21:31
Hi, Dick, Not only are these photos wonderful, but this website is outstanding! I was having difficulty identifying some of my photos I took on my trip to Cappadocia, and your photos solved that for me, i.e. Uchisar vs Ortahisar, etc. Can't tell you how much I love this site!

Among Cavusin elementary school students, how come there were no girls? Wasn't Elementary school education compulsory for all, so illiteracy keeping masses below poverty line can be combated. This was one promise the Founding Father of Turkey offered us, enlightened minds would lead to a socially just, peaceful home. Peace at home would offer peace to the world. Like so many places in the Middle East, Cappadocia is one corner that interleaves the power of nature and thousand years of human history in turmoil. So many civilizations came and went leaving their traces on the land. Now I see the responsibility of protection falling on to the current inheritors of this rich history and incredible beauty. Just scanning the comments I am touched by seeing how many people had personally history connecting them to the region. It feels like uncovering tangible links of a chain that connects us humanity. Thank you Osseman for reflecting to us that we are All One, when we are not blinded by our differences or by our nationalistic pride.

Dear Dick, So many thanks for all these fabulous pictures.Once;I've had got an e-mail including the pics.of Tarsus and I'm livin' in Tarsus.They were also amazing.Thanks a lot for your kind interest to my country..Good job Dick... Regards, Eda

Alison		06-Sep-2008 14:55
I was wondering the same: My Mother is a Cappadocia and her parents are from Italy. Is it documented somewhere that the "Cappadocias" did flea from Cappadocia to Italy? I am presently in canada as well.

Guest		24-Jul-2008 23:01
I am a Cappadocia. I live in Canada but my father was born in Italy. Is it possible that at some point his family were originally from Cappadocia in Greece and fled to Italy?

de ldea Grange		24-Jun-2008 17:08
We used to visit Cappadocia in the early 1950s and THAT was the time to see it: unspoiled and natural. Should have been preserved as a "world treasure" site by Unesco instead of ruined by humans in search of something different. Fernande

Jola Dziubinska		13-Jun-2008 19:58
Dick, these photos from Cappadocia amaze me. This is my dream since I first heard about and watched this region on TV, but didn't have a chance to go yet. Still in my dreams. Thank you for sharing the beauty, fabulous shapes and colors, the unique sceneries and atmosphere. Will be back here for sure and many times. Jola

My husband & I returned from a tour of Turkey 3 weeks ago. One of our favorite places is Cappadocia, an area I'd wanted to visit for some time. My husband took a hot air balloon (wish I had) ride & got some great photos. One must visit this area while in Turkey. It's a mistake to miss it. The experience will be with us for a very long time. We traveled from Istanbul to Adana & Urfa, to Antalya, the Turquoise Coast on a gulet & back to Istanbul. Wonderful trip! Iris Wutzke

Dick, your galleries just get better and better and certainly there is nothing more comprehensive than what you're doing. Some -very- beautiful images from a beautiful country I'm glad you're instrumental in bringing to the attention of the rest of the world. This was something requested by the warm Turkish people we met while there, and no one on the Net is doing that as well as you. This set of galleries is an incredible boon. With regard to Cappadocia hot air balloons, that is ONE thing I did do that you haven't, although I will have no chance to return to Turkey so will have to depend on you and others for updates. If interested in photos from a balloon I rode over Cappadocia, that's at myhttp://www.pbase.com/andrys/cappballoon (video also) or just click on my name.

We had the goos fortune to visit urgup in the last week of April this year.i would have really regretted all my life if i hadnt gone there. on the whole the experience was too good. i even tried my hand at doing some pottery at Avanos. your pictures are very good.

Selcen Erdogan		30-May-2007 01:17

I am very proud of you (dick osseman). I think you have accomplished a very hard and beatiful thing. Many people want to do something like that, but these people don't that because of their laziness. You are number one. Thanks you for your interest in Turkey and contributions to introductin (presantation) of Turkey.

Dick Osseman		30-Mar-2006 18:06
Unless someone is willing to pay for the balloon those pictures will remain missing. Does anybody realise this work is done by just me, a lone amateur photographer, not a tourist organisation? I have to finance it all by myself (and I am not very fond of the things many tourists do, you won't see me hanging under a glider behind a fast motorboat at Antalya either.... The horror...

Halis		30-Mar-2006 14:49
It has lovely pictures of Cappadocia region, but balloon photos are missing in the album. Have a look from the link below to see some hot air balloon pictures. Cappadocia Ez Air Balloons
