Baku is an incredibly modern city. Nothing like what I was expecting. And to think that the central city is nearly 30m – that is 100 feet – below mean sea level!!

It is a cloudy day here.

Those three buildings – the lights were dancing in rhythm.

Baku is very well lit. The buildings have very ornate lighting. This is the SOCAR Tower. SOCAR is the local Oil and Gas company. And it is shaped and lit up like a flame!

This is the office of the government company responsible for water supply and sanitation. It is lit up like a drop of water. The picture was taken from a running car. Apologize for the quality.

Take a guess where we are. This is my 196th airport!

Roger and I had planned Azerbaijan to be our followup adventure after out Mongolia trip! Never managed to get that done. Today, that wait will come to an end. Sharmila will be with me!
