Bukhara

General view of Chashma-Ayub Mausoleum, 12th-16th century, Bukhara, Uzbekistan, pictured on July 13, 2010 in the early morning. Chasma Ayub, or Spring of Job, commemorates the spot where the prophet Job struck the dry earth with his staff and caused a spring to flow. The mausoleum consists of four domed chambers each topped with a different cupola, demonstrating the changing styles of architecture over the centuries of its construction. Bukhara, a city on the Silk Route is about 2500 years old. Its long history is displayed both through the impressive monuments and the overall town planning and architecture.
