EDITORS COMMENTS
Bukhara, Uzbekistan - Tea House by a Still Pool (circa 1911) This evocative photograph captures the essence of Bukhara, an ancient city in Uzbekistan that has preserved its rich history and culture through the centuries. The image shows a traditional tea house nestled by the still waters of a pool, surrounded by lush greenery and the vibrant colors of the surrounding buildings. Bukhara, located in the heart of the Silk Road, has been a melting pot of various civilizations, from the Persians and Greeks to the Mongols and Russians. This diverse history is reflected in the city's unique architecture, which is a blend of various styles, from the intricate geometric patterns of Islamic art to the grandeur of Russian influence. The tea house in the photograph is a quintessential example of Bukharian hospitality. Tea, an essential part of daily life in Uzbekistan, is served in these traditional tea houses, where friends and family gather to share stories, play games, and enjoy each other's company. The tea is usually brewed in a large samovar, a metal container with a heating element, and served in small glasses called chalices. The still pool in the foreground adds to the serene atmosphere of the scene, reflecting the clear blue sky and the surrounding buildings. The reflection of the tea house in the water creates a sense of tranquility and harmony, inviting the viewer to take a moment to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of this timeless tradition. This photograph, taken circa 1911, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history and culture of Bukhara. It is a reminder of the importance of tradition and the simple pleasures of life, and a testament to the enduring beauty of this ancient city.
