Fondest Memory: As you wander through the sun-baked streets and lanes of Khiva do take time to notice not just the architecture but also the details which will provide variety and add atmosphere to your photos. A carved door, an especially beautiful piece of tile work, a small window letting in a shaft of light – all these will contribute to the overall picture you paint of this gem of a city.
Even more so will images of the people add to the story your photos can tell and, as everywhere in Uzbekistan, most will be very happy to have there pictures taken. Look out for friendly shopkeepers, smiling children and Uzbek families visiting the sights. And make sure you look down the side streets too as their tranquillity can make them seem as if nothing has changed in them for centuries.

How come I missed this amazing page before?! I visited Khiva in Soviet time and I guess it has changed a lot. We stayed overnight in Urgentch. | willy_wonka Fri Jul 18, 2008 06:50 UTC

Sarah, this is one of your very best! Fantastic page. We should all be grateful to you. Oh, by the way, Guatemala is definitely a prime destination, at least as much so as Ecuador... |
