License Plated Road, Nagorno-Karabakh

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features

The license plates were taken from cars abandoned by Azerbaijanis fleeing their homes as Armenia and Azerbaijan fought over control of the region in the early 1990s. Now they line roadside walls in the town of Vank and are seen as trophies of victory.
