Pictures from Yemen--the place where they do near-skyscrapers out of earth.

I gather that the first picture is, however of a kiln.

Yemen is such an interesting place...

And they can do amazing things with mud walls.  :o



The above image was from a PDF link in the indigenous housing thread

Great slideshow and that is one of my favorite photos, John.  I wish there was more detail about the actual construction.

Ohmygosh, you can actually see green things growing in the picture John posted.  I didn't notice any in David Sheen's pictures.

But there were some goats (unless they were hair sheep).

(and I think it was the 4th picture that was of a kiln)
