Yes - as a natural phenomenon it is amazing, but the "fairy chimney"
houses are completely eclipsed by the rock city of Hasankeyf (300
miles east). I have a zillion photos of it that I'll put up on the
web when I find a way of getting the space for free (meanwhile try
www.hasankeyfim.com, it gives some idea).
The most mindblowing natural phenomenon I've ever seen was a Brocken
Spectre when I was alone on a Scottish mountain ridge. Looking down
into a gully filled with cold mist, the sun behind me; my shadow fell
on the mist surrounded by a brilliant halo of rainbows and when I held
my arms out, they shadowed the rainbow disc like enormous dark angel
wings. You can't predict these, I may never see another one.
