No, it's not snow and this is not another skiing "adventure". This is a large area of travertine deposits that have formed over thousands of years. The waters that flowed over the side of the hill come from a hot spring underground. The content of the water is mostly calcium carbonate. Much of the beauty of this area has been lost because of past commercialism and tourism. It is still a major resource for tourism but now they are taking actions to protect this natural wonder for future generations to enjoy as it has been for centuries. We had limited time to capture all of it on our camera. If you are interested in seeing more (and better) photos, you can google Pamukkale photos and there will be several to chose from.
