Well, actually I'm nearly home but my last plane's running late so here's a thread for your delectation.

In the summer these trees provide much needed shade along the main street.

A memorial to a poet and philosopher.

A major park in the middle of town.

Drainpipe on the guest house I was staying in.

An unexpected gift of an enormous crochet shawl.

Guest house management.

The town is surrounded by mountains.

A small park with a bed of decorative cabbages.

Tajikistan has a lot of water.

Fast food. I didn't eat here.

Guest house garden after snowfall. By the end of the day it had all melted.

I wonder what kind of wood all those red carved pillars are?

The busyness, the intensity of pattern and color in the restaurant are familiar, after decades of association with Russian/Asian culture, but I find it claustrophobic. Beautiful craftsmanship, but not my cup of tea.

That weather looks like a bad day in South Dakota, where Winter's grip is long and tight, and most of its prospects bleak.
