Tashkent doesn't have much of a winter. Some cold weather, maybe a few snowfalls that leave little dustings. The rare white blanket is a nice change from the dusty norm and a good chance to get out and see some sights.
Icon with snow, the famous Hotel Uzbekistan.
Hard to believe, right downtown, a meandering canal and footbridge creates a bucolic scene within the urban environment. The Monument of Courage with a little white dusting. It's dedicated to victims of the big earthquake in 1966.
The palace for Grand Duke Nicholas Constantinovich, one of the Romanovs. Nice pad, ready for a bitter, period Soviet epic film set.
Another memorial, the weeping mother for the WWII victims from Uzbekistan. Putting the frieze in freeze. The impressive workers scene outside the Mustakillik Maydoni metro station.
Cool pedestrian footbridge and big Ferris wheel. Lovely. For a day, until the melting commences.
