Today's Flickr photos with the most hits: the travertine cascades and pools at Pamukkale (cotton castle), Turkey.

The carbonate terraces were laid down by water from hot thermal springs running down the hillside, causing the minerals to precipitate out of the solution.

The site has been attracting visitors since ancient times.

Sounds pleasant. But hot springs in Australia always seem a bit disappointing in requiring clothing, rather than following the all-naked spa traditions of Japan or Germany.
