Hello Achim,
The minaret covered in turquoise tiles is rather splendid and makes a beautiful focal point. The light and shadow contrasts contribute to the mood of the shot. Fine technical realisation.

Hello Achim,
The final result was much lower than the intended plans.
But the minaret is therefore not less beautiful. On the contrary, this is really wonderful architecture.
Beautifully presented with some of the street life included.
Best regards, Paul

Hi dear Achim, how are you?

So unique islamic architecture. Yes usualy Minarett is so high tower or pole bu this is unfortunatelt suspended for further construction, but that is why so rare one, TFS for your posting,

All the best and have a good day! Takero

hello Achim,

Marvelous set of different buildings here, all beautiful. This minaret is not old but made in the old style. Even 70 m wouldn't be so high. It is rather strange thick. Beautiful decorations. nice display of carpers or table cloths. Excellent play of light and shadows.

Hello Achim

Great capture of this fine architecture under an ultrablue sky. I like the silhouette of the walking figure below too.

Hello Achim
Even with a height of 26 meter this is a beautiful, fascinating minaret. Splendid colours and beautiful decorations. Excellent quality so I could study all the interesting details in the large version.
Excellent presentation

Hello Achim
This is a rather unusual form for a minaret, but the blue and green tiles are absolutely fabulous. The strong and simple architecture of the sandstone fort contrasts nicely with the beautiful minaret.
The silk trail has been one of my dreams for a long time and your picture reinforces the wish to travel there greatly.
have a great time
Daniel

Hi Achim,

The presence of the person has an effect of scale. The point of view is showing the details of the Kalta Minor Minaret. The good luminosity is bringing out the beauty of the colours. Have a nice day.

Hello Achim,

Looks like a fascinating and exotic country to visit. The green domed mosque is an eye catcher. Good sharpness and excellent and the pale red magenta wall contrasts well with the blue sky. Tfs!
