Ashgabat at Night, Viva Ash-Vegas!!

I took some time-lapse videos from the windows of the traffic and the lights. Then we went for a drive to a look out over the city by the Palace of Happiness, where among other events they hold a lot of weddings. The skyline was very impressive, very modern looking and glitzy. Final stop was a golden statue of the current president, Serdar Berdimuhamedow, riding a horse in the middle of a big roundabout. Back to hotel by 10:30 to sleep.

  1. Great light show well captured by you, Joe. Hope you didn't get too blissed out at the Palace of Happiness. Given your other photos as well, Joe, a VERY interesting city!
