    Every time I see this picture, it shpites (a PA Deutsch word that means “disappoints”) me that I did not keep my camera raised for a second longer. I could have captured the interesting dichotomy that has become so apparent in the Muslim world. A second after I took this picture, she threw her hood back, yanked her white thing down, threw open her robe, and revealed a tight top and jeans.

    The fields of southern Turkey are absurdly rocky, these three large rock piles plopped in the middle of this nicely cleaned field being illustrative


    Out here in the hot, hot sun…


    I’m not quie sure what the thing behind the tractor is doing besides giving the guy a nice ride, but it looks like horses was the designed mode of locomotion for that thing.

    As Salaam Alaykom:
    At one time, I had considered moving from the US to the Duhok area, but eventually abandoned the idea because of the unrest. I was especially interested in Avrocity.

    The farming countryside looks extremely similar to areas of central Oregon, USA.

    Very nice and informative pictures.
