Pasabagi, Cappadocia, TR

Mushroom shaped fairy chimneys.  Pacha's vineyard is how they called it before as it can be seen in the middle of the vineyard.  "Pacha" means  general, a high ranking officer in the military, were chimneys before used as headquarters for the local.  This site is also called Monks Valley for the cones carved in tuff stones which stand apart where hermits used to live and distanced themselves away from the crowd.
