Eroded tuff stone in Cappadocia (Turkey). This a natural phenomenon, not man made. Guess I don't need to mention why it is called Love Valley!

Yeah, I remember seeing this first from Art Wolfe many years ago. Nice even exposure here in soft light puts a strong emphasis on the subjects where needed. Like the subtle rows of bushes below as well.

Cool! I've never seen an image of this place. It really does look manmade.

Nature does not know the meaning of modesty! I do need to grow up a bit...so many phallic jokes rolling around in my head right now...must...keep them down. Gah!
Cool shot though. I've seen some photos from this area...pretty awesome what nature can do. Turkey has some pretty awesome locations.

This is one place I'd love to go, my dad always tells me about it (He's from Turkey). I love the colors you were able to capture and the composition.

Ha! The first thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail was that this should have been posted in the Man & Nature Gallery.
Now I'm reminded of a line from a Beatles song (two lines actually) ...
My mother was of the sky.
My father was of the earth.

What a pity that the beautiful soft light and the subtle colors almost go unnoticed because those... things... attract so much attention. What a crazy place.

Wow, what cool place. Would maybe add a bit more saturation to the colors, but the comp is pretty compelling on its own.

Hi Ranier,
At first glance I thought this was a temple and wondered why it was in the landscape gallery I really like this compostion. Using the stones to create a 3D illusion was excellent. I also like the tones of the grasses and bushes in the foreground. My only suggestion would be to try to return to this location to get a more interesting sky. This is an intriguing image!
