In Turkey's tourism hub Antalya's Döşemealtı district, known for its woven carpets and rugs, fields used for planting wheat in winter transform into areas where carpets are laid out in the scorching summer heat.
Wool carpets woven in various colors and patterns have been laid out by predominantly woman workers across hundreds of acres of land, left to bask in the sun for days. Carpets from all over Turkey are sent to Antalya due to its larger fields and longer sun exposure.
