"Geology's gift:
Churches carved out of soft stone,
Filled with ancient faith."

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Cappadocia, a historical
region in central Turkey. It is a tourist draw for its natural wonders, with
so-called fairy chimneys and underground cities. It was a center of early
Christian life, with dozens of churches carved into the soft stone. The
cave-churches and most of the private cave-homes are no longer in use, but a
few families still remain. Our tour group was invited into one.
Bonus photos after the jump.
