So here, enjoy some photos from an actual Stan instead. Anita and I spent a short time wandering around Skazka Canyon (aka Fairytale Canyon) in Kyrgyzstan while en route to a yurt camp. The landscape was this interesting mix of badlands you'd see in Alberta, and red rock features like those down in a few Western US states. Definitely worth a stopover if you ever find yourself in Central Asia, overthrowing governments or whatever. :)
