Bukhara (Uzbek: Buxoro; Tajik: Бухоро; Persian: بخارا; Russian: Бухара), is one of the cities (viloyat) of Uzbekistan. Bukhara is a city-museum, with about 140 architectural monuments.[1] The nation's fifth-largest city, it had a population as of 31 August 2016 of approximately 247,644.[2] Humans have inhabited the region around Bukhara for at least five millennia, and the city has existed for half that time. Located on the Silk Road, the city has long served as a center of trade, scholarship, culture, and religion. UNESCO has listed the historic center of Bukhara (which contains numerous mosques and madrassas) as a World Heritage Site.
The history of Bukhara stretches back millennia. It is now the capital of Bukhara Region (viloyat) of Uzbekistan. Located on the Silk Road, the city has long been a center of trade, scholarship, culture, and religion. During the golden age of the Samanids,[7] Bukhara became a major intellectual center of the Islamic world, second only to Baghdad. The historic center of Bukhara, which contains numerous mosques and madrassas, has been listed by UNESCO as one of the World Heritage Sites.
Bukhara has been one of the main centres of world civilisation from its early days in 6th century BCE. From the 6th century CE, Turkic speakers gradually moved in. Its architecture and archaeological sites form one of the pillars of Central Asian history and art. The region of Bukhara was a part of the Persian Empire for a long time. The origin of many of its current inhabitants goes back to the period of Aryan immigration into the region.
The Samanid Empire seized Bukhara, the capital of Greater Khorasan, in 903 CE.[8] Genghis Khan besieged Bukhara for fifteen days in 1220 CE.[9]
Bukhara under siege by Red Army troops and burning, 1 September 1920
Bukhara was the last capital of the Emirate of Bukhara and was besieged by the Red Army during the Russian Civil War. During the Bukhara operation of 1920, an army of well-disciplined and well equipped Red Army troops under the command of Bolshevik general Mikhail Frunze attacked the city of Bukhara. On 31 August 1920, the Emir Alim Khan fled to Dushanbe in Eastern Bukhara (later he escaped from Dushanbe to Kabul in Afghanistan). On 2 September 1920, after four days of fighting, the emir’s citadel (the Ark) was destroyed, the red flag was raised from the top of Kalyan Minaret. On 14 September 1920, the All-Bukharan Revolutionary Committee was set up, headed by A. Mukhitdinov. The government – the Council of People's Nazirs (Commissars) – was presided over by Faizullah Khojaev.
The Bukharan People's Soviet Republic existed from 1920 to 1925 when the city was integrated into the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic. Fitzroy Maclean, then a young diplomat in the British Embassy in Moscow, made a surreptitious visit to Bokhara in 1938, sight-seeing and sleeping in parks. In his memoir Eastern Approaches, he judged it an "enchanted city" with buildings that rivalled "the finest architecture of the Italian Renaissance". In the latter half of the 20th century, the War in Afghanistan and Civil war in Tajikistan brought Dari and Tajik-speaking refugees into Bukhara and Samarkand. After integrating themselves into the local Tajik population, these cities face a movement for annexation into Tajikistan with which the cities have no common border.[
Nesting pair of Osprey. The female is sitting on egg(s). When returning to the nest, the male landed right on her back and sat there for a bit before carefully climbing off. Is this a normal activity? The female seemed unfazed/unharmed.

The temporary platform at Magdeburg, which was good for photos of the passing freights, has now been closed as the station rebuild is mostly complete.
Managed to find this spot but photography at Magdeburg is now rather challenging.

I am exhausted!! & I'm on my way to getting sick :/ Bleh.
1. We went to Sea World today - I regretted not taking my zoomie lens :/ But still got some fun pictures! Nephews looove Shamu because I've been showing both of them the music video of MJ (since both were younger..the youngest one got really hooked when I was in India earlier this year) singing the Free Willy theme song and there's plenty of "shamu" in that one so they were really excited. I made this super contrasty bc it looked better. Took so many pictures but oh so tired!
2. Watched the midnight show of Pirates yesterday and it was sooo good :) Definitely better than the 2nd and 3rd, but nothing beats the first one.
3. My bff is graduating tomorrow morning (nurse practitioner!) so I'm off to sleep
Have a great weekend all!

This shows the Corvair engine after all sheetmetal and accessories are removed. Notice how clean this engine is after 10,000 miles on the rebuild. The heat discoloration on the cylinders is normal.
Notice how the intake manifolds are cast as part of the heads. The 140 HP engine was the only Corvair engine that used four 1bbl carbs.
There is a crankcase cover mounted between the left and right banks of the engine. On top of that cover is the bearing for the cooling fan.
On the bottom left is the oversized oil cooler that was installed on all 140 HP engines and Turbocharged engines.
On the right bottom of the photo is a floor jack holding up the engine during a motor mount installation.
The Pertronix Ignitor that is mounted in the distributor was replaced after a failure on the road!

I don't even remember the last time I shaved with a razor. Probably mid 2007. I only ever trim it. It's gotten out of control in the past month or so. I thought this would be a cool shoot for today. I'm happy with it only because it was my first try at something like this. I think it looks cool! Mirrors are either loads of fun or a pain in the ass for photography. There's so many things they can be used for, but they're also a pain to work around. There will almost always be things I think I can improve or change in an image, but overall I'm happy with this one.

I didn't disappear. I was just sick last week.
However, to make up for it I filmed and edited my Q&A video yesterday and it is uploading as I write this now. It may take a while though because it's pretty long (17 minutes D:) And I have to leave the house to go to class soon so, hopefully it will finish before then.
So keep an eye on my youtube page for when that pops up. You can subcribe if you want to make sure you see it.. but you don't have to.
UPDATE:
sooooo... the video is 2 minutes over the limit for uploading on youtube.. so i'm going to have to split it in two parts and... i wont be able to do that until after class tonight which will be after 8pm... so. the video may be up later tonight but if not, tomorrow for sure.
