Here’s a synth of Çavuşin Kilisesi. These were taken without a flash, so there’s a lot of noise as a byproduct of the editing necessary to reveal more than shadowy despair. Also, I forgot to set the white balance, so my camera randomly decided that the interior of the church merited at least six different white balance settings. Live and learn. Also, check out some of the individual photos over on flickr.

Cappadocian rock-cut churches are unique monuments. Because they are quarried rather than constructed, architectural “rules” don’t quite apply to them.

Pammakaristos
After the excavation at Tiberias I went to Turkey for a two week summer class on the rock-cut architecture and wall-paintings of Cappadocia. I also spent several days in Istanbul visiting monuments before and after the class. Here’s a photosynth of the Pammakaristos chapel (also known as the Fethiye Camii):
And some highlight pictures of the synth:
