Typical musical instruments used to make traditional Uzbek music....
Here's a piece of the orignial observatory equipment....
This was the guy who designed the observatory.
These are pictures of the observatory equipment carved into the mountain side. It basically tracked the path of the sun....
Entrance to the observatory. I was sitting on the side and a family of Uzbeks including grandma, grandpa, mom dad and kids all sat down with me and started taking pictures. I was rather embarassed. They did it TWICE! Then Grandpa tried to guess where I was from. He was stuck on Russian, Ukranian, etc. I kept telling him American...
There was a wedding party at the observatory. The bride didn't really look happy....
The observatory sits on top of the hill....pretty cool view.
