Just came back from a couple of days Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. That's an interesting place for sure. At the turn of the 19th and 20th century oil was the main income of the economy (with lot's of it), currently the city is going through his second boom, a true building site.
Content of my visit, an editorial job for a coffee table book project. Brief was short. 'No Lada's...need to show off modern Baku.' They certainly have big plans with this place. So on our shopping list we had the luxury fashion brands, 5 star hotels and new architecture. Unfortunately lot's is still under construction but can imagine this place in a few years. It's gonna look nice. Real shame that both our flights were at night so I missed the views to the Causcaus Mountains, another great reason to head back in explore the nature trails. Thanks to our Azeri fixers for the tradition Peaty Soup and keeping us out of trouble.
