This is the Maiden Tower:

Can you post some photos of rural areas? Small towns and fields or forests and mountains.
Do you have lots of snow?

I posted some photos of mountains and forests.Unfortunately we don't have a lot of snow

We dont have a lot of snow here either.
This is an amazing photo. I found it on one of the web sites you linked to.

But I heard that there is a lot of snow in Englang

I dont live in England. I live in Australia with the kangaroos.
We have some snow near where i live, it snows on the mountain top.

Snow in Australia

I haven't heard a lot about Australia,just a little bit.Can you post some photos of Australia?

Hi Nikki

Welcome to A2K

We had quite a LOT of snow this year in the UK, Scotland and the North of England were hit quite badly and we're not geared up as a country to be able to cope like the USA or the European countries across the channel, so the UK came to a halt for quite a while at the end of last year and the beginning of this year.

Ordinarily, we don't get so much snow and we have a temperate climate - it's unusual for us to have very high temperatures or very cold temperatures.

We do live in a very beautiful part of the world here.

Australia is very lovely too

This year only 3 or 4 days we had snow.But it rains a lot of time in Baku.Also the weather is very windy in Baku.Baku is called "the city of the winds"

These are some wild birds in my garden


This a church in the city


This is a cafe in the city


The Yarra river runs through Melbourne

I have a relative in England who married a woman from Abkhazia.
I think Abkhazia is near to Azerbaijan.
He speaks the language and lives there for many month each year.
