HFF
The National Monument of Ismoil Somoni in Friendship Square, Dushanbe, Tajikistan.
This 13m high statue, crowned with gold, and surrounded by a 43m high arc/fence is a reference to the powerful hero who was a Persian leader (Tajik) who ruled the region in the Samanid era of the 9th century. The National currency bears his name.
The president for life of Tajikistan has rebuilt Dushanbe on a grand scale with staggeringly huge buildings and monuments, including a flagpole which at 173 m high was briefly the tallest in the world. Meanwhile, people are poor, of course.
Have a top Friday and a great weekend
