Uçhisar Farmer

A portrait of a weathered farmer in Cappadocia, Turkey. While enroute from Göreme to Uçhisar Castle in Cappadocia, we bumped into him. He ecstatically practiced his English while he shared a cup of tea and fresh-squeezed orange juice with me and my wife. About 30 minutes into our stay, a strong storm gust unexpectedly blew through the shop. This photo happened right before the storm gust hit. Immediately after this was taken, he ushered us out of the shop and urged us to run back to Göreme as quickly as possible.
