Found on our quest to avoid hellish pavement in Azerbaijan: a colossal druid tree—a methuselah oak. It lorded over the Caspian Plain.
Beside the tree: the ruin of a Christian church, either Armenian or from the vanished Caucasian Albanian culture. Before us: the steel god of a communications tower. Tonight, in a smoky village called Bum, a smaller deity waits: a bowl of lentil soup.
