Turkey -- Continuing the Tour

When we reached Cappadocia, a region of "central Turkey", we were able to tour a Pottery showroom as well as the production areas.  I was amazed at the handwork that produced beautiful pieces.  Here is just a sample of the intricate designs, many dating back hundreds of years.  Remember this painting and design work is "freehand" and not machine produced or guided.

Thanks for stopping by.  Next time I'll tell you more about this "magical" area of Turkey.
