Rudaki

I decided to go out and take some pics today. This one up here is of Rudaki, looming over the city of Dushanbe, well not really looming as it isn't as big as the Somoni-statue.

I don't know if you can see the beyt - stanza - at the foot of the statue. At any rate it reads:

Har ke na-Amukht az gozashte ruzgAr
Hich na-Amuzad ze hich Amuzgar

Which would be something like "Whoever doesn't learn from daily events, won't learn anything from any instructor"

I have some more pics but the internet here is terribly slow. We'll see.
