Remember Ashgabat?

The artist strikes again! Here is Floris' artistic impession of Ashgabat, Turkmenistan's capital.

You will notice: the white buildings, the golden-domes palaces and ministeries, the parks, the two very weird monuments ("Arch of Neutrality" and "Independence and Peace Monument", which looks like a giant toilet-plunjer) and the numerous golden statues of Turkmenbasi. Also note the complete lack of people in the streets!
