I forgot to comment on that photo!

#11: Hot girl pulling an almost O-face in water.
If ONLY she was a little more out of the water. Wanna see the rest 🙂
 
I almost had to defend Manas airbase on the way home from Afghanistan. Apparently there was an attempted coup that night and the President of the country was possibly heading to the base.
 
#11 is interesting. need more pics of that!

#19 looks incredibly uncomfortable, especially if it's a long trip.
 
I was there for 1 day. I've never seen mountains so tall! Sad that they're closing the base, that's a country that I really would've liked to explore. The commercial airport had people that were a strange mish mash of mongols, Chinese, arab-looking people, and Russians. They had one flight that morning, no announcement when it was time to leave, people just got up and thronged to the gate, no order, old people pushing and shoving. It was great. I was pretty sure that there would be crates of chickens and cattle roaming freely on the plane, but alas I was disappointed.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. The caption said it was some religious ceremony but she just looks like she's having a good time. I don't think those old guys mind much.

She's stoked about Epiphany, apparently.
Those photos of the eagles and the wolf are amazing.
 
#19: Man, and you thought COMMERCIAL flights were crowded.

That Kyrgyz parliament is in a pretty nice room...methinks they've been skimming money off of the top for a LONG time now.

#14 Did they grind the wolf's teeth down?

And how the shit is that chain attached? I'm assuming it's a collar though it's not clearly visible, but what the crap is that testicle-looking appendage dangling there? Is that just a really dusty knotted rope?

Neat shot though, saliva and all.
