This aerial image captures the Göreme region of Cappadocia, Turkey, during a period of low sun illumination, likely sunrise or sunset. The upper portion of the frame displays a clear sky, transitioning from light blue to a pale orange-pink at the horizon. The vast landscape below consists primarily of undulating terrain marked by distinctive light-colored "fairy chimney" rock formations and eroded valleys. Sparse, dry vegetation appears as tan and brown patches, with some darker green areas. A paved road runs through the mid-ground, curving towards the upper right, and is accompanied by smaller dirt tracks. A cluster of buildings is visible in the lower-left corner. An open, unpaved area, possibly a hot air balloon launch or landing site, occupies the lower right, with what appear to be support vehicles. Over 50 hot air balloons are airborne across the scene, positioned at various altitudes from near the ground to high in the sky. These balloons display diverse colors and patterns; one prominently features "Cappadocia Balloons" text on its envelope in the lower-mid foreground. No individuals are discernible. The scene depicts a large-scale hot air balloon flight operation over the unique geological formations.
