Shirvan National Reserve
A few photos from our visit to this park, in early October, about 150 km. southwest of Baku. As you will note, the park (like nearly anywhere else here) has oil rigs. Also interesting marshes and a beautiful beach but most importantly lots of 4 wheel driving when a certain individual dispersed Gazik to the back seat of the Toyota and took the wheel. Third photo shows the home team on an empty beach on the shore of the Caspian that may (or, then again, may not) be far enough away from Baku to be clean and safe to swim. Was a bit chilly so we'll have to come back and swim another time. Saw some deer and foxes and a significant amount of insect life. The park, like much of this country, "shows great potential". That is a euphemism.
