@falloncallie: 📍 Samarkand, Uzbekistan This legendary Timurid mosque boasts a spectacular ribbed turquoise dome decorated with magnificent Arabic calligraphy and intricate tile mosaics. Ancient exposed brickwork, partially weathered and worn by centuries, tells the grand story of Tamerlane’s era. Under the bright clear blue sky, the huge dome rises powerfully, blending the traces of time ruin with breathtaking medieval Islamic art. Bibi‑Khanym Mosque is one of the most iconic landmarks of Samarkand, built by Amir Timur in the 14th century. Shoot on a sunny day to capture the striking colour contrast between the turquoise dome, aged brick and vivid blue sky. #Uzbekistan #Samarkand #IslamicArchitecture #Travel
