Depicts: Pamukkale (Denizli, Turkey)
I was really, really glad to get this postcard, because if there's a place in Turkey I want to visit, it's Pamukkale. The word "Pamukkale" means "cotton castle" in Turkish, and Pamukkale always does remind me of cotton candy for some reason! Pamukkale are travertines, "terraces" of carbonate minerals made of very unique chemical stones that make them look intensely and beautifully white. There are small lakes where people used to be able to bathe themselves - I really wanted to do that! - but nowadays it's forbidden, for the government wants to protect the original landscape. I love this card!
Postcard stamp:
None, since it came in an envelope.
