The Iraqi country side

Air Base Balad lies right on the Tigres river in Iraq.  So the country side is rather green.  Now here are some pictures of the areas surrounding the base.  William says that these are not as green as it really is. There is also a lot of desert by the looks of it.  He says that it has been raining a lot this week and since most of the area isn't used to water it is just pooling.  He now understands why their trailers are up on lifts!  He is afraid that his room will flood if it continues to rain.
