The bright colours of the main mosque in the village of Tis reminded me of Hindu temples in India. The whole region is one step closer to the Indian subcontinent being so close to the Pakistan border. Most of the people in Baluchestan are Sunni Moslems. But I was told that until the revolution both Sunnis and Shias prayed at each other's mosques, attended each other's festivals and generally got on fine. Since then religion has become a political issue and therefore a divisive one.

Women in Baluchestan were almost invisible. The social occasions we attended were always strictly segregated. Baluchi society is a man's world through and through.

When we were at the market there were a bunch of old women sitting on the ground selling vegetables. Some of them were smoking hookah pipes. I started taking pictures and they quickly shooed me away. I was just starting to back away, smiling and apologising, when one of the women began to recite loud poetry - all the while gesturing dramatically with her arms. She was consciously putting on a show for us and I admired her for caring so little about what the other woment were bound to say about her afterwards.

After the final verse she struck a pose and I took a picture (badly overexposed)
