Silkroad travels: Kashgar
We have arrived in the river oasis of Kashgar, at the border of the Taklamakan desert. You see a muslim cemetery with the gümbez (گنبد ) of wealthier people. At the horizon you notice an aspen forest. The sand, carried with the desert wind, clouds the sky during hot days.
In "View: map" I indicate the center of the oasis, not this particular place. By zooming out you will notice the impressive size of the oasis and understand that it was at all times a "must" for any Silk road caravan. |

Hey Dietrich,
Yet again a wonderful motive, captured well. Lovely composition, and a bunch of wonderfully colored buildings. The background is equally attractive with the forest. Great sharpness and clarity.
Enjoy.

Hallo Dieter!
Einen Friedhof hätte ich hier nie vermutet. Hinterm Zaun kann man auch - offenbar - "normale" Gräber entdecken. "Angeben" gehört offenbar zum Menschsein ... Es sieht so aus, als wenn schon wieder ein solches "Mausoleum" gebaut würde. Wieder ein interessanter Beitrag!
Grüße aus Siegen - und ein schönes Wochenende!

les changements s'amorcent; autre pays, perte d'altitude, autres constructions....
