Through Asiatic Turkey

Through Asiatic Turkey (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Through Asiatic Turkey On the northern side Of the pass we found ourselves in acountry wearing a very different aspect to that we had been hitherto passing through. There was no longer any reminiscence whatever of the tropics; nothing that suggested heat or danger from the sun. It was not merely that snow covered all the hills which were close at hand on our right, and in front, but the vegetation was deficient in luxuriance, and had a hardy and often a pinched look which told of the bitter winds and frozen air of winter, which here seemed to linger in the lap of May. As we descended the pass, we found shrubs and flowers looking just like those of early spring in England. In the plain, vegetation seemed somewhat more advanced, and as we approached the Kurdish town of Zakhoo, we passed hawthorns Of large size, in full blossom.
