Registan Courtyard, Samarkand, Uzbekistan — Silk Road Travel Photography Poster (Classic Matte)

Step through the great portal of the Registan and the ornament only intensifies. Samarkand's craftsmen faced every surface of this courtyard in glazed tile — cobalt, turquoise and gold worked into script, star and geometric lattice — beneath a fluted dome that has held its colour for centuries. 

The tall Iwan draws the eye inward past tiers of arched niches, young trees softening a stone court that once formed the ceremonial heart of Timur's capital. It remains one of the most complete expressions of Islamic art anywhere on the Silk Road.

Part of the Green Global Trek Uzbekistan Collection — original photography from 15 years on the road.
