the last years saw the construction of the first highways in the country, and while people still drive completely mad compared to central Europe, the procedures and safety regulations seem not to exist here. as an example i photographed the strange sweeping ladys on the highways, a thing that would be forbidden and considered far too dangerous in central Europe:
in complete peace of mind they can be found just inches from the cars running at 130 km/h....
the on the other side the city gets more and more modern, stylish and to the opposite of what i thought, everything that is reshaped and refurbished gets treated well and seems to be kept in good condition, like the growing parks, main roads or freschly planted forests. thats why it gets increasingly attractive to walk the streets and parks, search for new cafe's and enjoy the sunlight outdoors - if its not too windy it is, because for a good reason Baku is also called the windy city and can be stormy and chilly at times!
here some of the more appealing views...
