These are some old anti-aircraft and artillary guns that I walked past when I went for my meals. They look like they are no longer in use and I am not sure if they are American or British.

Sheep
Sheep herding across the oil fields. I cannot imagine this being easy work, trying to get the sheep to jump over the oil pipes.

More videos
This time another short video showing what I see whilst travelling to work and back. The plumes of smoke are constantly being spewed out into the air 24/7. What looks like pools of water are pools of oil.

Sign in the kitchen
I saw this sign in the kitchen today and it made me smile. What a good way to tell people to clean up their mess after making cups of tea and coffee in the middle of Iraq :)
Guns in the bar
In our bar in the welfare building there are some guns on display, probably guns that have been captured/confiscated and made safe so they no longer fire. The bar bell is made from a large shell casing and you can see this hanging verically in one of the photos. There is also, I think, a rocket propelled grenade launcher on top of the fridge.

More Images from Southern Iraq
Some more general photos of scenery. Iraqi villagers, reflections of smoke in pools of oil and more rusting tank carcasses.

Welfare
We have a welfare facility which we make use of. Inside the building there is a pool table, a couple of TVs with satellite systems, dart board, books, dvds and a bar with seating and tables. It's not much but it provides more things to do with your free time. Most people go in to watch football matches and have a game of pool.
