Fortress in Khiva, Uzbekistan; May 2026
Below are some pictures from my trip to the Fortress in Khiva, Uzbekistan. I share them out of a love of visual inspiration. God has created such beauty! Mankind, made in His image, has also creatively brought beauty into focus through architecture, textiles, and more. Perhaps you will sense that same appreciation for beauty in His special spots in the world by looking at some of my amateur snaps. I would love to hear about your adventures or your questions about any of the places I have visited.
