Shah-i-Zinda Domes, Samarkand, Uzbekistan — Silk Road Travel Photography Poster (Classic Matte)

Two turquoise domes rise over Shah-i-Zinda, the avenue of mausoleums that has drawn pilgrims to Samarkand for eight hundred years. Their ribbed shells sit on drums banded with Kufic script and glazed tile work, the blue reading almost liquid against a moving sky. 

The name means "the Living King" — and on a street of tombs, the color is anything but funereal: it is the boldest turquoise the Silk Road ever fired.

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