In Khiva's historical centre the Ichan Kala close to the Islam Hoja minaret I saw this lady in her colourful dress sweeping the street.

Salam Roland.I do love the Uzbek fabric with those geometric patterns that grow paler at the edges. A thing of beauty. She does have a strong presence and one can imagine how easily the broom can become a weapon. Just joking. By the way, have you heard of a popular singer Salamat Sadikova? i have been trying to get her CD in Australia, but no luck. I do own a Severa Nazarkhan CD. Regards. Klaudio.
