Howdy all! Today in this week’s photographic feature I have Uzbekistan’s ‘Samarkand’ for you. A destination in Central Asia with, at times, a Middle Eastern flavour. The city is famous for its madrassas, mosques and tombs and so I hope you enjoy seeing it – through my lens that is!

Gorgeous! I’ve been interested in visiting the countries in Central Asia for some time, and your photos convince me to book a trip there sometime soon!
