Uzbekistan (November, 2019) – While quite beautiful, sadly it appears most of the historical restoration in Shahrisabz is more reconstruction. If memory serves correct; the light seeping in from the late afternoon light, glimmered against the turquoise hued hexagonal tiles and hints of gold paint. Inside the confines of the Kok Gombaz Masjid the immaculate interior showed little signs of its age. I lingered longer than my companion to admire those little details left over from the Timurid empire.
