Description
The cliffs and pools of Pamukkale , coated in white calcium by mineral springs that flow over them. Posters for Turkey make this look like a vast area , but it's really fairly small , as this distant shot showing about a goodly portion of the site makes clear . Pamukkale used to be a much bigger destination , with hotels being built all over the cliff side , and people going to bathe in the pools as the ancient Romans used to do . But the waters were polluted and diverted , and the site was almost destroyed before the government decided to make it a national park , demolish the hotels , and restrict access . Access to the site is limited to those willing to walk barefoot over the often painfully rough calcified surface .

Digitization
Prof. Paul Brians created these photographs using an Olympus Camedia D-490ZOOM with available light, no tripod. A couple of dozen photos toward the end of the trip were made on Kodak disposable cameras. Paul Brians also provided captions and other descriptive information for the images that were cataloged and uploaded to the CONTENTdm server at the WSU Libraries.
