Khiva
Low angle view of Juma Mosque Minaret, 10th-13th century, Uzbekistan, pictured on July 5, 2010, in the late afternoon light. The oldest minaret in Khiva has a tapering brick trunk decorated with seven narrow belts of small turquoise bricks, topped with a stalactite belt and a small blue dome. Khiva, ancient and remote, is the most intact Silk Road city. Ichan Kala, its old town, was the first site in Uzbekistan to become a World Heritage Site(1991). Picture by Manuel Cohen
