city wall, a photo from Xorazm, Ouest

Photographer's Note

Nobody seems to know exactly how old this ancient city is, though the story goes that Khiva was founded by none other than Shem, the son of Noah (of “and the Ark” fame); at the very least, the city dates back to the 7th century, and probably much earlier. Despite its seemingly romantic history as a Silk Road oasis, the city became most notable as Central Asia’s biggest slave trade center.

Witaj Marcin
I have just discovered your gallery
you have some amazing photos.
THis is really nicely captured with the strong light highlighting the architectural details
the presence of only two colours makes the photo strong,
nicely done
Regards
Daniel
