Silk Road: Dushnabe Photo

Photographer’s Note

Silk Road travel from Toshkent to Kashgar:
Market scene in Dushanbe. Several ethnies live in Dushanbe, the capital is after all close to Afghanistan, Khyrgyzia and Uzbekistan. During Stalin's reign people were forcibly shoved around in the whole Soviet Union by the millions, so Russians arrived here as well. Because of this, today's remote Dushanbe has an international flair.

In countries where many people don't have refrigerators, dried fruit and nuts are important food items during winter time. (I remember that my parents dried apple slices during WW II in Switzerand).

Hej Dietrich,

I really like this kind of photo showing the spices laying the different coloured bowls. It seems quiet attractive and a good sales presentation. Your (as it seems) low pov makes it look like more.
Hälsningar

Hallo Dietrich,
ich bin ein großer Fan von getrockneten Früchten. Auch Pistazien, Sonnenblumenkerne und geröstete Kichererbsen habe ich schätzen gelernt. Weißt du was das bläuliche im Vordergrund ist?
Gruß aus Hamm,
Roland
