Monday Morning Blues – Minaret of Islam-Khodja, Khiva, Uzbekistan

My latest blue themed photo aimed at alleviating that Monday morning feeling…….

My September 18 visit to Uzbekistan ranks as one of my best trips ever. The walled city of Khiva is sometimes overlooked in favour of Bukhara & Samarkand, but to miss the UNESCO listed city is a crime in my opinion.

More laid back than its illustrious Silk Road compatriots, it is nevertheless a real jewel in its own right with its mosques, minarets, entrance gates and the imposing ark.

  1. That is a beautiful photo of the minaret. I am more used to seeing the square minarets I found so common in Morocco.
