Snow and Scenery

Between lessons, I go for walks, sometimes alone and into Uchisar, sometimes with the manager, owner and their dogs. Together, we hike below the hotel and above some of the valleys. The snow is quite beautiful, especially on the low mountain range in the distance, or crystalline and fragile at close range. At some points, you can look over the valleys. Each one is different, depending on what is contained in the tufa. A high iron content can turn a valley pink or red when the sun hits at certain angles.

I can't describe to you how incredibly beautiful it is here in the snow. The light changes frequently. As the sun and clouds pass, and the shadows change, each view is a glorious photograph. Unfortunately, I cannot capture the subtlety of these changes with my camera.
