Stopped again on the road to Amedi for photographs. No idea when I will be back here, so take the time to record it while here.
That's the ancient town of Amedi on the plateau behind the bike. I drove past it and did not go in to explore, saving that for a return visit with friends.
The view was like this all the way down the valley, some 60 miles between huge snow topped mountains. I thought that I would break right for home much sooner than I did, and that a road would work through the mountain. I was wrong.. the valley went on for miles... 60 miles, as the cross flies, as I now know...
