This is a shot from my first trip to Samarkand in 1998, in the fall. I woke up early in the morning to get these shots before tourist groups were taken through. There have been a lot of changes since then - now there is more fresh paint and souvenier stands. Most of these ancient sites had a much more authentic appeal to them before they became commercialized and distorted to appear ina way they never did originally purely for the sake of tourists' eyes.
