the 1000 year old ruins of Yar, built from mud
1000 years before that
it has another name, unpronounceable : Jiaohe
theres a model near the entrance
its thought to have come to an untimely end:
one of the recurrent invasions
at first its difficult to sense any human residue
& then something reveals..
there was few tourists there that day
apart from our group
light rain, no sun/shadows
a different sort of quiet
later, I was watching the traffic..
