TASHKENT Capital of Uzbekistan
I've found this photographer, Christopher Herwig, on Flickr who takes amazing photos of interesting places - and writes great captions to the photos. Too good not to post at SSP!

Tashkent is just unbelievably fascinating. I will go there in the next 5 years, or Ill kick myself.
Thank you, olga and photographer. |
Interesting topic!
The mosaic patterns do look very nice and very original. I am wondering is there a typical Uzbeki face cause I see two different kind of faces of people , a little Asian and kind of Iranian. |
And some people in the photo are obviously Russians. This is what Wikipedia says about the population of Uzbekistan:
