This photo was taken in 1968, in Iran, near the town of Maku, just across the border with Turkey. I was on my way East, a three-and-a-half months� travel which ended in Kathmandu, Nepal. I was hitchhiking with a companion from Brighton, England, whom I met in Munich, Germany. I am sitting on the hood of this Mercedes, that would take us to Teheran. From there I travelled by any means available through Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Nepal.
I live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and I run a small literary publishing firm.

Beautiful shot.

It would appear that the light colored rock is limestone; yet, it seems conifers thrive here which prefer an acid soil. A very nice shot George. You certainly have covered a lot of ground.

Great capture, George. Did you have your oxygen bottle with you? ;o) I am afraid that my arthritic ankles would never let me negotiate this sort of terrain, these days. Thanks for showing us all a part of the world most of us will never get to visit. Regards, John.

Another great capture. The pictures of this series of hiking 'On The Greek Island of Samos' look better and better as the winter drags on. There are some truly nice images that reflect the out of the way location of these islands, Sig...
