Nice glimpse of another world. The words and image would fit into a National Geographic story.

A physical journey or a journey of the soul? Or both? Keep posting though - journeys are always interesting!

I actually work for the natural gas pipeline project named TANAP. I manage the public relations therefore I travel a lot. It becomes a good opportunity to meet with different people. I witness varied types of events and will learn the stories of people that I am going to encounter. The more people I meet, the more I know something about life. So I try to make my travel both of these journeys you said. Thank you

Sounds like an ideal opportunity for taking the most amazing pictures! Look forward to seeing more of your work. Maybe even a photo essay of the "pipeline people"?
Enjoy!
