Hi Wolfgang, great, this view of Eruq Kala if I'm not mistaken. You must have seen it from the top of Ayaz Kala. Both fortresses were built in the Kushan(Buddhist) period (2nd century CT) to secure the Oasis Khiva - with Adobe material ! Your picture brings up an interesting question: how do you militarily defend an oasis in the middle of a huge desert? Thanks for the presentation, Greetings Dieter

Dear Wolfgang, you did an excellent job here, the beautiful mosaïc is difficult to catch on camera because of the obstructing trees. In your picture the branches add a welcome effect of dissolution. When I saw Divan Begi Medresa I couldn't figure out a good angle like you did. The mosaïc a pretty liberal interpretation of Ikonoklastic rule applied by Shiite artisans ! Is the sun with the mongol- looking face a recall of former Zoroastrian beliefs? Thanks for this, Dieter

Hello Bulent, thanks to your kind comment on one of my pictures I have the privilege of discovering your contributions to TE. This picture's significance is much enhanced by your fabulous note that goes with it. I now understand I have to read your book "Math and the Mona Lisa" ... My best regards, Dietrich

Bonjour Jacques, j'aime beaucoup cette photo un peu mélancolique du Schwyberg. Je l'ai découvert par hasard en regardant tes images phantastiques de l'Afar. J'habite aussi à Marly et je me bats pour empêcher la construction d'une installation industrielle sur --- le Schwyberg (www.sauvez-les-prealpes.ch). Bien à toi, Dieter

Merhaba Murat, so you live here, niiiice ! My congratulations to your new camera. Your first shot is convincing, superb. While you are right to look for a DSLR, I had to go another way since I travel essentially with a bicycle. I am now the proud owner of a light, compact Sony RX-100 that does the most amazing things. Thanks for posting this one! best regards from equally rainy Switzerland, Dietrich

Merhaba Murat, an interesting and funny picture. It seems that the Park administration helped our imagination a little. What I always appreciate when in the US: the National and Regional Nature Parks have a strong educational mission, they want to explain things. My best regards to you, Dieter
