Runing wild horses and the rural life on the doorstep of 5th highest peak of Turkey called Erciyes mountain(3917). I always wanted to visit this place, so i made a tour and went to that rural life.it was wetland so that is why the ground was so muggy and slippery.it was fun to fly my drone over that wilderness.This area is over between Mount Erciyes Sindelhöyük and Cappadocia in the middle of Turkey. This land is one of the first settlements in human history.

Pasabag in Cappadocia is located on the road to Zelve, coming from Goreme or Avanos. Highly remarkable earth pillars can be seen here, in the middle of a vineyard, hence the name of the place which means: the Pacha's vineyard. Pacha means "General", the military rank, in Turkish and it is a very common nick name. This site is also called Monks Valley. The name was derived from some cones carved in tuff stones which stand apart. Currently, there is a vineyard and a number of tuff cones standing right next to the road.
