Stunning Landscape - Cappadocia, Turkey
The mysterious rock formations and underground cities of Cappadocia make this region of Turkey one the most beautiful in the world. The rich history of this site can be told through the villages, subterranean churches and fortresses that have been carved straight into the soft, porous, eerily eroded rock.
Popular activities in the region include visits to the underground cities, viewing the ancient Christian cave art, seeing the “fairy chimney” rock formations, and taking sunrise hot air balloon rides for a view of the breathtaking landscape from above.When I am certain everyone else in the world is following odditiesoflife I will not reblog everything she puts up quite so industriously….
Pinterest user p8ronella has collected a handy array of reference, lovingly organized. Click to go through!
The screen cap I took of the first albums doesn’t do the vast collection justice. You’ll see! There’s a lot of periods and places packed in there.
Does Kate Beaton have a Pinterest? I’ve set up boards for my students to follow and I’d love to have her added as a resource.
I do! There’s absolutely nothing on it, it’s a hilarious non-entity, like your dad’s facebook account. I keep meaning to do it, though, instead of using tumblr as a pinterest in a way. Tumblr’s archiving is terrible! It would be cool to have some organization for reference things. I will let you know when there is anything worth looking at!

Rare Lenticular Clouds
The stunning meteorological phenomena of lenticular clouds (Altocumulus lenticularis) is a rare spectacle. Looking more like UFO’s than clouds, they are created by three conditions: warm and moist air, winds with constant height and something big, like a tall mountain. When a current of air hits an obstacle in its way, it begins to travel upwards and starts to condense forming a lens-shaped cloud with multiple layers.
