The “Cotton Castles” at Pamukkale, Turkey is just an incredible sight.
Water flows through the terraces or travertine of white carbonate minerals.

Michael this is an astounding photo. I hope you wont think me too forward in letting you know I think you have spelling error in your title. No need to display this comment.
Hi, this is a typing error which I have now corrected. Thank you!
You are most welcome. It has happened to me too so if you ever see a typing error I would be happy for you to tell me. Have a great day!
There is a spell check in the WordPress draft, but they don’t check the Title – otherwise, I would have spotted it. Regards, Michael
Hi Michael,
Can you tell me more about the white carbonate minerals? Is there a lot of sodium in them? I never saw that before. Very interesting.

Hi Leslie, the water flows through limestone in the area and therefore contains carbonate. Regards, Michael
What an astounding phenomenon! I’ve never seen anything like this, not in person, not even in a photo. Thank you!
Hi Jet, glad that you like the picture! Regards, Michael

oh one place ive been to from your many travels 🙂
I am sure you like the place!
Went here last weekend. Pamukkale is a lovely spot and with the weather warming up its certainly a sight to see.
You are so fortunate to have the opportunity to visit the place. I wish to visit the place again.
Wow this is very beautiful Michael 😀
Thank you, Irene!
Now I will have to look at a map to see where Pamukkale is in Turkey…looks most unusual! 🙂
It is a bit further out (East) from other destinations but worth going!
Close to where I am 🙂
Hi Uncle, where are you based? Regards, Michael
I’m hoping to visit here next year, great shot!
Hope you will make it and enjoy!
I so want to go to this place…. and beautiful picture..
Put it on your bucket list!
The picture says it all! No need for words 🙂
Strictly speaking, I shouldn’t put in any words- however, I think I should spell out where the photo was taken. Regards! Michael
It doesn’t even look real, or should I say natural! Beautiful!
Many of the photos taken are from the sides, my photo was taken mainly from the top at an angle. Glad that you like it!
Yes very much so.
I’m sorry I haven’t been commenting on your blog as of late. I upgraded my computer and now I can’t comment on anybody’s (except one) blogs. Very frustrating. Some days, I can’t even open them. 😦
Have a great summer.
Hope you have now overcome the problem, anyway great to hear from you again!
Fantastic view
Thank you 🙂
WOW!!! How amazing is that?! Another place to put on my bucket list! Michael, your travel destinations inspire, 🙂
I am trying to compare Pamukkale and Huanglong (latest post), hope you like both posts!
This is an amazing photo!! I had no idea this was in Turkey. I need to add it to my list. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

It is a “must see” if you are in Turkey!
Fascinating image! … and very beautiful 🙂
It is interesting for me to see this milky-white water in another part of the world as we have a small stream nearby to us that has this same unusual water. I believe it is caused by lime from the underlying rock. Our stream runs through some lovely ancient woodland but it is not quite on the scale of Pamukkale!! Wonderful image, thank you for sharing 🙂
Where you have carbonate dissolved in water running over limestone, it is possible to have these travertines.
Regards, Michael
WOW! Amazing place and stunning photo.
Glad that you like it!
Great photo! Pamukkale is such a beautiful place!!
Very unique place indeed!
Ice floes in Turkey? That’s what I had thought at first sight; a great shot, Michael!!
We still have other shots that I am happy to share in due course!
Wow, this would be spectacular to see.
Thanks for liking the picture!
