PIctures
One of my sisters asked for more pictures today. I thought about it for a sec, and this is what I said:
"The thing is, there's not much to take pictures of over here. Iraq is pretty much a featureless desert (lots of it irrigated, which makes it marginal farmland, still flat and featureless except for the patterns of square-ish fields) with occasional palm groves. Most of the architecture is adobe or cheap concrete,with the exception of Saddam's palaces. Most of the places I stay are prefab trailers or semi-permanent tent camps. I'm doing my best to stay away from scenes of carnage and destruction, and I wouldn't burden you with that nastiness even if it was all around me.
Opportunites for photos are mostly significant to whatever actions me and my team mates are performing at the time, most of which are only interesting to our respective families. I send pics home so you all know I'm still alive and well, and take pictures of my co-workers so they can do the same."
I've been thinking about getting some more webspace for osting picures, but I really don't have many that are at all interesting.
