We all form images in our minds of places we haven’t yet spent time in. I’ve decided that quite a few lovely photos from my most recent Iraq visit will fit best into my current “series” approach if I create this new “Mountains” series to give them shape. If I’d chosen to think about it much, I’d naturally have expected to find imposing, impressive, beautiful mountains up in northern Iraq, from which mountains after all come two of those great historic rivers, as tends to be the case with most great rivers of the world. But somehow, the last several decades have seemed to focus one’s mind on other aspects of Iraq than on these remarkable mountains. So here you 🙂

Hurray for beautiful mountains!
