This is an alternate content page containing a Photo Album Activity. It has opened in a new window.
A series of photos is presented.

This photo album describes a 2005 trip to Peshawar, Pakistan, to combat rabies there.

These school children were anxious to have their photo taken with Dr. Deborah J. Briggs.
Standing in front of the entrance to a local market with local residents, Dr. Briggs is wearing traditional garb.
There are many beautiful parks in the area, and the architecture of the ancient buildings is pleasant.
An ancient veranda in the distance provides shade from the heat. A raised platform enables park visitors to look over the water.
This pleasant green space gives a sense of calm.
This ‘Red Fort’ was built centuries ago to provide the kingdom with protection. The architecture is similar to the ‘Red Fort’ in Delhi India and was built by the same civilization.
Free-roaming dogs are prevalent in the area and should be considered to be unvaccinated against rabies.

A driver sits at the wheel of his mini-truck known as a "tuk-tuk," which serves as local taxis.
The dusty streets are busy with people starting the work day. This is a local market where people come to buy essential items.
This image shows the interior of an ancient mosque.
These small turrets are actually part of an ancient system to provide cooling air to the interior of buildings.
The team's guide explains how the cooling system works even today and is much cheaper than air-conditioning!
Dr Claudius Malerczyk, a global rabies expert, is part of the visiting team.
The cooling turrets are multi-use as we see by the hanging laundry. In this heat, it does not take long for clothes to dry.
This image shows a crowded souk or marketplace. Ancient buildings are still in use in Peshawar.
A public mosque is ornate and grand.

The walls and ceilings of an ancient mosque are decorated with intricate designs built into the tiles. The small alcoves provide a resonance for sound and allow a speaker to be heard throughout the large room without a microphone.
The seat for the Imam to speak to the people is beautifully decorated. The tile work balances symbols, shapes, textures, and colors.
This photo shows the interior of a mosque where local Muslims come to pray each day. The floor is richly carpeted.
The ancient artwork is still evident throughout the building although in need of repair in places.
The roofs of the buildings are beautiful in their shape and design.
Tangled electrical lines bring electricity to the city.
This photo shows an overview of the crowded streets in the central part of the city. Dogs roam freely throughout the city scavenging for food and continue to pose a threat of exposing the residents to rabies.
It is a cloudless hot day in the city, and the ancient cooling systems designed by previous inhabitants are useful on such a day.
Many ancient mosques were built throughout Asia, and this is an example of one of them.
The contrast between the ancient beautifully tiled mosques and modern buildings is striking.
