Road to Naryn
I don’t have a lot to say about rest stops on the highway on the road to Naryn except for this: if you’re a vegetarian who eats fish you might be okay, but you still might want to pack a lunch, and maybe bring sleeping pills or something — the good drivers are the kind that scare the living bejesus out of you, and make you think that maybe teaching your kids to drive wasn’t so bad, after all. I left fingerholds in the molded plastic in the back, and was really, really glad I was wearing my St. Christopher’s medal, and had a big blue glass evil eye that I got in Turkey, and my Arabic necklace, too. Have no fear, tho’ — if you forget the pills, you’ll always be able to buy vodka on the road. Lots of different kinds in the middle row, below. Somehow, that’s comforting, no?
greetings!

The Atlas will be the first of its kind devoted to the natural resources and environment of the Central Asia region; it will highlight the countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, and showcase the region’s wealth of natural resources, from biodiversity to energy and minerals, and agricultural lands. It will also identify areas of environmental concern.
we will abide by your terms and conditions for using the photos, and you will be duly given credit. we would need the photograph in its original size in either .jpg or .tiff in at least 300 dpi. for a high quality print.
hoping for your favorable response.
