The Burana Tower in Kyrgyzstan is all that remains of the lost Sogdian city of Balasagun. Once a major hub on the Silk Road, it was razed by the Mongols, who left only a single minaret standing. Now it stands amid a field of balbals, funerary statues left by Turkic nomads.

@Reach4ACopsGun Antonioni’s “The Passenger” (197 5). Very cool, long single-take long shot with camera moving from interior to exterior near the end, too.
