Brief halt while the route we are travelling is checked for potential danger, a real hazard when travelling cross country.

In the distance can be seen the Red Desert known as Registan.
This is an interesting Phenomenon at any time but most especially from the air.
There is no gradual fading from barren ground to red desert it just instantly changes, it is such a definate line that it can bee seen from space.

6 mages - 1/160s @ f14 ISO 125

Cracking image !
Not the place to cross in times of conflict, I bet it feels very exposed when out in that landscape.

The shape of the photo is a testimont to the vastness and barreness of the landscape.
