The electricity was out for Tashkent and a couple of neighboring countries a few weeks ago. The normally well lit underpasses weren’t.

The Uzbekistan History Museum, former Lenin Museum in Tashkent, built in 1970 is a good example of how multiculturalism affected Soviet architecture. The Soviet Central Asian Republics became the true laboratory of local form, materials, and ornaments.
Concrete decorative grilles used here are based on traditional Uzbek sunscreen called Panzhara. It is a rare example in Soviet architecture influenced by local culture.
architects: Yeregeny Rozanov (*1925) and V. Shestopalov

I wonder if there will be anything other than huge, ugly homes and high rise apartments left here in a few years
Refrigerators, office furniture, giant loads recycling, 5 meter sections of pipe, sheet rock...you name it, it can be hauled on a rooftop.
Kukeldash Madrasah is a medieval madrasa in Tashkent, located close to Chorsu Bazaar. It was built around 1570
El Bazar Eski Juva, más conocido como Chorsu, es el mercado más grande de Asia Central, antaño un bullicioso centro de la Gran Ruta de la Seda.
Chorsu significa "cruce de cuatro caminos", lo que describe a la perfección su papel histórico. Aquí convergían las rutas de caravanas de este a oeste y de norte a sur, creando un animado centro lleno de cientos de puestos, posadas y viajeros de todo el mundo.
Su corazón es una enorme cúpula que cubre una espaciosa sala de comercio de dos plantas, y que reposa sobre pilares de hormigón conectados por arcos panorámicos de cristal.
Su exterior está adornado con mosaicos azules y verdes que evocan diseños tradicionales.
The Eski Juva Bazaar, commonly known as Chorsu, is the largest market in Central Asia, once a bustling hub of the Great Silk Road.
Chorsu means "crossroads of four roads," which perfectly describes its historical role. Here, caravan routes from east to west and north to south converged, creating a lively center filled with hundreds of stalls, inns, and travelers from all over the world.
Its heart is a massive dome covering a spacious two-story trading hall, resting on concrete pillars connected by panoramic glass arches.
Its exterior is adorned with blue and green mosaics evoking traditional designs.

After a few months break it was back to Uzbekistan last week for what is unfortunately my last trip for now. I didnt have time to leave Tashkent this time but did very well in my free time on subjects that evaded me on the last trips.
One big Tashkent area goal was to capture some diesel action. While the mainlines are mostly electrified, Soviet era diesels hang on as shunting power. Tashkent - Tovarni, the city freight yard, is one of the most accessible spots with a convenient footbridge from the metro station. Here 1988 built ТЭМ15 (TEM15) 022 pulls a long cut of container flats out of the yards while TEM2UM / ТЭМ2УМ 960 shoves a cut of freight cars back into the northern yard bundle. The TEM15 was a surprise catch as I did not know UTY even rostered them. For former Soviet Union models, they are fairly rare with only 198 produced. Interestingly, the model was first developed for export to Cuba. The 022 was built in 1988 and is thus one of the youngest shunting diesels in the UTY fleet.
On my previous visit I could barely get one loco to come out of the yard with a single wagon. This time I had about two hours of nonstop action before I pulled myself away as the lighting was getting bad! In total I managed to shoot 5 different locomotives, single wagon railroading is still alive and well in Uzbekistan.
We were staying in a stunning pedestrianised area close to the City Park in Tashkent. At 8pm on the first evening, we suddenly heard music playing and spotted he central fountain, that we had seen earlier, come to life with animation and coloured water jets.
Today I saw a picture from an Uzbekistan city, which reminded me I still have lots of nice pictures from that part of the world that I never posted. Many are from older buildings, that are stunning pieces of architecture, but this one is a recent building (opened in 2014) that shows the people in Uzbekistan are still very talented when it comes to making magnificent mosques.
Earlier I posted a fragment (the inner dome www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/49683223038/in/album-...), this is the building from the outside.
20 September 2019 I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.
Such a reminder of Moscow Metro, the air rush, the smell, the trains. They have “de-Sovietized” the metro (and a good part of the city), cutting out hammers and cycles, Stalin busts, etc.
Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Central Asia. One of the older trains. There were more modern ones passing through as well.
