I have come to Markhu, above the Kulekhani reservoir, to finish the novel I have been working on since September. It doesn't look like the novel will get published - it doesn't have enough in it, and I don't want to make it plotty. So, maybe, someday, I will put it all here. 

Some photos from the road (blockage):

Kulekhani.

Men pondering development.

This one digs into hills.

And Mr. Dong who didn't mind the long, punishing drive.

I haven't asked the dog its name yet. There is also a mastiff, so fluffy and big.
