Azerbaijan is a very fun, safe and laid back country that isn't well known to most people and was actually was one of my favorite places  
to visit. It has a lot to do both day and night and is surprisingly an international city since many foreigners come to work in the oil fields.
Baku city has a new modern area and the old Baku. Above is the modern area and a fountain near the Caspian Sea.
The left picture is the wall that goes
around all of Old Baku. The next are
pictures of the markets and the famous
Maiden Tower on the right.
On the left is an old building that was converted into a bar. It's very nice and there are several of them in Baku in
additional normal bars. The right is a guy about to go jet skiing in the Caspian Sea, the largest lake in the world.
The picture on the left is
of a woman trying on
some traditional Azeri
clothing. The shop on the
left sold many trinkets
including carpets and the
'magic lamps' from
Persia. The picture on the
right and the one below
are of some of the old
caravans that are used
today as businesses and
nice decorated cafes.
To the right is a nice
mosque seen in Baku
near the city's highest
point. On the left is a
famous place to visit in
Baku which is called
Martyr's Lane. It's
dedicated to dozens of
people who were
killed when Azeris
were protesting the
Soviet Union.
Above are pictures from some caveman carvings that are said to be 10,000 years old. The right picture is a rock
that was used to play music found in an area known as Gobustan.
Another very interesting place in Azerbaijan are the mud volcanoes. There are said to be 800 in the world, and half
of them are in this country. The mud they spit out is cold, so you can walk up and put your finger in it. If you get
close you can see mud running down the volcano just like lava would. There are several of them here along the
Caspian Sea making all kinds of noises.
The two pictures to the right of the above caravan
picture are of Azerbaijan's wealth of natural
resources. The top right picture is one of the oil
fields and this is where Azerbaijan makes all its
money. The picture directly on the right is a
natural gas leak that is said to have been burning
for over one thousand years.
Azerbaijan was a major stop over for the Great Silk Road
that went from the Far East all the way to Europe. On the
right is an Indian temple of Atesgah, one of three still left in
the world. The builders of the temple used to worship fire,
and you can see me standing inside next to a natural gas
flame that the temple was built around. The doors in the
back go to rooms which were basically used as a hotel for
the Indian traders. Below is a picture of a butterfly taken
up in some rocky mountains of Azerbaijan. The rocky
mountains can be seen better in the photo to the upper
right. In these mountains are some carvings from where
people used to live thousands of years ago. It was said
they lived here and one day the Caspian Sea supposedly
flooded and killed many of them while they were sleeping.
