Tashkent
Low angle view of central patio of Barak-Khan Madrassah, 16th-17th century, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, seen on July 4, 2010, in the late afternoon summer light. Tashkent, 2000 year old capital city of Uzbekistan, a Silk Road city whose name means Stone Fortress, is now very modern due to a disastrous earthquake in 1966, after which it was greatly rebuilt. However, some of the old buildings still stand in the glittering modern city. Picture by Manuel Cohen
