Photographer’s Note

Silk road travel:
After a day's rest in Khorog we continued our trip up the Panj valley in the direction of the Wakhan corridor (we left the Pamir highway for a while). Soon the wild, dry and hot landscape had us back. You look at the village of Pish (2150 m alt.) in the background. To the left you have the Afghan goat's path again. The upper Panj river carries less water now. In the foreground you see two bushels of collected Salvia plants. They make an excellent tea. But we were usually served black tea, a luxury idem here. Black tea is brought here by merchants in the bulk form of pressed cubes.
