Quba to Xinaliq, October 2010

Here are some photographs from a short trip to Xinaliq. Xinaliq is an archetypal high Caucasus village, surrounded by breathtaking mountainous scenery. I wish Baku was located somewhere half this beautiful.

Children in Xinaliq love being photographed :)


If you have 10 Manat (almost the same as 10 Euro) to spear you can get yourself a pair of hand made slippers.


A view through the hole in the wall of a local mosque.



Almost like the English Lake District:


Houses in Xinaliq:





...and some beautiful scenery...






Carpet makers in Quba. It takes about 3 months to make a medium sized carpet.

I cannot wait to go there again!
