Update of June 5, 2003
I have a video clip of Dushanbe that I'd like to make available to everyone. The clip is a 37 min video in MPEG-1 format (VCD compliant) shot from a car touring around the city. You can take a look at a short (30 sec) fragment of it. If you decide to download the entire clip please consder its size - 309 MB. Here's a link to download. Make sure to click the right button on your mouse and select the "Save Target As..." option.


Update of Mar 31, 2006
In the summer of 2005 I was lucky to travel to Dushanbe again. Of course I shot a whole bunch of new pictures. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to prepare them properly for publishing so I just threw them out on the server without sorting. You're welcome to see the new pictures here.
