This is a re-processed image from a photoshoot with a friend of mine at Camp Liberty, Baghdad, Iraq. No terrorists were involved in shooting this image. The scarf is mine; we all had them to wrap around our faces when the inevitable sudden sandstorms came. Shot with an off-camera flash and umbrella. The model is one of my closest friends who happens to be a former US soldier.
A bit of brush clearing opened this frame up nicely at a spot called Baghdad on the LS&I as the 7 AM Yard/Hill makes a run up the hill with 120 empties heading for Eagle Mills and eventually the Tilden Mine. In the background is a short bridge that once carried the tracks over the DSS&A mainline heading downhill into Marquette (now the Iron Ore Heritage biking trail), and further behind that is the bridge over US 41.
Originally designed as an inn for travelling merchants in Baghdad, and the dwelling place of many university scholars, this was built in the 14th century, and has a central hall more than 45 feet (14 m) high. The crenellated arches of brick and perforated windows make this a fascinating piece of architecture.

Coming to the end of another 12 hour shift monitoring the thermal security cameras that loos out over Baghdad outside our JSS.
I went outside this morning with my cup of coffee to get an idea what the weather was like before I went for a run. I saw this sunrise and had to dash back into the house and grab my camera.
I have another sunrise photo on my stream of a sunrise over the same mosque. I took the other one last year. I think that this one is much more spectacular.
These photos were taken on Cockrell Ave in Dallas ... Google map link.
I found this place when driving around Dallas looking for some interesting industrial buildings to photograph. When I turned onto Cockrell Ave by accident, I was totally shocked to find this bizarre little "village". We got out, started walking around and photographing stuff. In about ten minutes some security guard drove up and started yelling at us for "trespassing" (um hello! this is a public street, notice the green city street signs in several of the photographs). Long story short, he quickly saw our cameras and that we were photographing the buildings and not trying to break into them. He then proceeded to tell us all about the area (he actually turned out to be a rather nice guy). Basically this whole area was a set for the 2003 TV movie Saving Jessica Lynch. When they were done filming they just left the buildings as is and let things start to deteriorate.
I took these photos back in 2004, so I don't know what this place looks like today. Overall this was a cool place to photograph because you had this strange mix of downtown Dallas skyline, faux Baghdad, and old industrial brick warehouses.

Dans la série des endroits où vous (et moi) n’irons sans doute pas, je vous présente Bagdad ! L’intérêt d’une mission ISS est aussi de pouvoir observer en détail des lieux difficiles d’accès ou reculés.
La capitale du califat abbasside, l’un des plus brillants empires médiévaux, a vu passer des siècles de savoirs, de cultures et d’innovations.
Aujourd’hui encore, depuis l’orbite, on perçoit ses contrastes : un patchwork de zones modernes, de quartiers historiques, et de cicatrices urbaines laissées par l’Histoire récente.

In the series of places where you (and I) will probably never go, let me introduce you to Baghdad! One of the great advantages of an ISS mission is being able to observe, in detail, places that are hard to access or far off the beaten track.
The capital of the Abbasid Caliphate—one of the most brilliant empires of the Middle Ages —witnessed centuries of knowledge, culture, and innovation. Even today, from orbit , you can see its contrasts: a patchwork of modern areas, historic neighborhoods, and urban scars left by more recent history.

I've always had a fascination with Leylands exports in the 70's and 80's and these Atlanteans are no exception. This is one of hundreds of AN68/2L's with Park Royal bodywork that made their way to Baghdad in the years before we bombed the hell out of them and is seen on trade plates, presumably on test close to the Park Royal plant in North London prior to being exported 1976. Tehran took similar bodied buses in the same period.
And Lal Sohanra national park. The pic was taken near the railway station at Baghdad (me in van, the boy on bicycle).
