Beautiful wharf and loved the pictures of Bukhara.

I bet the scenery has changed a lot now. I like the idea of riding in the handcar ... that would ease my tired legs a lot.

Wow that 3rd pix I think of the sart woman..was that a purdah/veil? It looked like a coffin ready to be zipped up.
I am sorry I dont want to hurt anyones sentiments here..but I was shocked to see that. The purdah now is way better-humane.
I am still surprised at this technique of color photography.If you had not mentioned it,they would easily pass off as recent photography.
This second part is also equally interesting. Did you notice that the railway tracks are much broader than our broad gauge.
Unique and interesting. Not only beautiful pics but also they are history lessons.
I love being able to look into the past. Yes, very interesting. Thank you.
It's so colourful! Especially the Emir's blue costume :)
These pictures are very interesting. I also think that many of the pictures have changed a lot. Thanks for taking the time to post these great photos.
