TURKEY, PAMUKKALE THERMAL POOLS, 1974

We are in the valley of the Menderes River at the natural park of Pamukkale. A snow-white hillside shaped over a long-term salt deposition that is contained in hot springs. Views from the limestone formations as the mineral-rich waters foam and collect in terraces. Views from Hierapolis, an ancient spa town whose the monuments are preserved. We watch a sarcophagus, the Roman theater and its "koilon" (cavea). We return to the hot springs, zoom in & out shots in the small white pools that are shaped on uneven levels and in the natural formations that look like sculptures. As the sun sets, we take views of its reflections on the water.
