POTD: The Ghosts of the Silk Road in Old Viewfinders

From 2025 09 19 Bukhara

Today's photo-of-the-day was taken on the street in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, where a pile of old binoculars and cameras was spread carelessly. I wondered about all the images that appeared through their lenses in the years and decades gone by. And whose eyes had framed those images.


"A faded minaret—
the tourist who framed the shot
has faded as well."
