In the wintertime I use the 777-25oz for a indoor cycling system, three times a week for about 45 min with a Brooks saddle . I would lie to say that it is the perfect riding jeans and especially at the beginning it was not really a joy, but now it works good and the crotch area is still looking not so bad

@Bridger yes you should do! It is very easy to travel in Uzbekistan. The only problem is the food: you have to take care that you do not come back home 5 kg heavier!!

@Bridger sorry for my late reply! We were landing in Taschkent and took a rental car. Next stops were Samarkand, Buchara and Chiva, the silk road and back. It was very easy to travel, friendly people, delicious food and you always felt very safe.

Samarkand, Uzbekistan
We just came back from the silk road in Uzbekistan. Beautiful country with amazing history and very very friendly people.

@endo WOW! They look very very cool! Great job, very well done!

@Jett129 Thanks a lot Jett. Because of the light/shadow situation I preferred b/w , but I have to admit, that most of my portraits are in b/w

I have tested a new and very very cool camera! The Sigma BF is really a very special camera, I think you love or you hate it. It is such a beautiful design and it is such a joy to use with the compact Sigma lenses. Here with the 2/65

@weftyarn thanks a lot for your friendly comment! Really great photos of the baseball game, they have a kind of analog style!

Back home from Iran and the weather becomes better from day to day

@Denman-John happy to hear John! The food is incredibly good! I could die for it. You can talk hours with Iranian people about food. And if you are invited you will see and taste so many different dishes.

@Go-For-Chill thanx a lot! I am sure you would love it! I think there is a big difference between politicians and people on the street. The people will do everything that you feel comfortable. I was now in Iran during Noruz, the Persian New Year. Many Family members from all over the world came home, also many American Persians. But at the moment it is for sure a very difficult situation and nobody knows what will happen the next weeks.

@highdesertplains my pleasure!

@alexxedge thanx a lot Alex!!

@SKT yes it is really an exotic place but with a very old culture and wonderful monuments

@pechelman thanks a lot ! I am glad that you like it!

@highdesertplains right now I have uploaded some photos of my last Iran trip here in the photography section. From time to time I will show some photos of interesting places

Last week I was in Iran, one of my favorite countries. I don‘t mean the politicians which are really very bad, but the Iranian people are wonderful. Their hospitality is legendary. They always take care of you and I never felt unsafe. Let me show you some photos of this country, I start with the island of Qschm, deep in the south of Iran, near the street of Hormuz. Breathtaking landscapes, beautiful sea.

City of Laft with beautiful wind towers

Traditional Lenji wooden boats which are still in use for the trades with the UAE and other countries in the Gulf area.

Qeschm feels like a small „hippie“ island, no hijab, nobody cares. It was the first place in Iran where I saw men with short trousers and women with tops. At the beginning my wife had a scarf around her hair, but they said „you don‘t need it here, Teheran is far away“

Boat trip to the Dolphins

We were lucky to find some dolphins

Older people still wear traditional clothes

But if you are lucky, you also can find a „Persian princess“ in the mountains
