Noice! Did you go to the wine bar? I took a small AFF group there once, and I think most were a bit under-whelmed.
So, 3 pics per trip? Here's mine for my trip to the
5 Stans last year. Best trip, ever ...
Darvaza Crater, the 'Door to hell', Central Turkmenistan. For scale, you can just make out the glow of a person to the right of the 2 dots of light on the rim to the left. It was a natural gas deposit, drilled and then set alight by Russians about 45 years ago, when the well started crumbling to 'burn the gas off'. The crater has been getting bigger and on fire ever since!
My #1 sight I've seen in the world (if for no other reason that its so bloody hard to get there!)
The Registan, Samarkand, Uzbekisan, three madrassas dating from the 15th century. It was specially lit up for a show for the president the next day. Again, for scale, look at the boundary between the dark and light to the left of the central darker box in the foreground. The little ants are people. this place is freak'n enormous!
Termez, Uzbekistan; view across the Oxus River to
Afghanistan. Again, an amazing sight considering where you are!
