Man at mosque; Bukhara, Uzbekistan - a photo on Flickriver

Man at mosque; Bukhara, Uzbekistan

            We walked past this mosque on our way to the well known Samanid Mausoleum.

What strikes me most about these structures is the incredibly intricacy in the tile and brick work.  Master craftsmen spent years designing, painting and laying the tiles that cover much of the historic architecture in this region.  Every master had their own specific (and very closely guarded) 'recipe' to create the blue dye seen on all structures.  Even today these dyes are very difficult to recreate and it's easy to pick out restored tiles as the blues don't quite match.
