Mods we need that groan button - it's bad enough when he puts stuff like this in the humour thread

I am working on it. Just don't hurry me as I don't like rushin'.

thank you to the Terrible Two @RooFlyer and @john M for all the wonderful photos and text. I have had to google all the locations but after some time surfing the net have learnt a bit about their cooking, their history, the process called kashap for making the ceramic tiles and about the Turco Mongol King Timur. Apparently a quote on his monument says - “if you want to know about us, examine our buildings”

Our office for a few minutes today.



Three Uzbek wines only, middle of might shelf.



A few coldies on the terrace. We can see the Registan and Timur's tomb from the terrace

Gaaahhh, I’ve had a gutful of this stuff; I want to go home.

Last night of the Proms at Adelaide Festival Centre last night - Guy Noble is a very entertaining conductor. Lots of rousing songs

Today's office for a while is the remains of Timur (Tamerlane)'s palace, late 1300s in Shahrizabz, Uzbekistan, his home town.

This is just the 2 pillars of the entrance arch / entry hall. It's HUGE! 38m high remaining, maybe half again originally.

Astounding

 

[RooFlyer]

And here is the old tyrant himself, with the pillars in the background.

Somewhere deep in southern Uzbekistan office ( actually, outside a mosque in the middle of nowhere where we had a toilet break).

Very friendly local ladies.

We drove, and then walked, to the Briksdal Glacier in central Norway today.

The beautiful valley you drive up



The glacier heads in the distance



As close as you get
