What's Ground Will Become Flour — photo essayWhat's Ground Will Become Flour — photo essayThe “exotic village” of Gilan, a 700-year-old settlement high in the mountains of Kashkadarya Region, has only in recent years become a mecca for ethnotourism and a source of inspiration for photographers and artists. Admiring its authentic way of life, people rarely stop to consider how life is organised in one of the most remote high-altitude villages in the country. Yet such a way of life involves not only traditional customs and practices, but also age-old means of production. The people of Gilan are almost entirely self-sufficient when it comes to wheat, which is milled by hereditary millers. An old watermill at an altitude of 2,000 metres is the subject of this photo essay by Ildar Sadykov and Sergey Pogosyan.Ildar Sadykov, Maria Maksimycheva#Places#Heritage & Identity

Route built, straight ahead — 1000 kilometers: how Uzbek intercity taxi worksRoute built, straight ahead — 1000 kilometers: how Uzbek intercity taxi worksUzbekistan is not the most extensive country. You can board a plane in Tashkent and in an hour and a half find yourself at its other end—for example, in Nukus. But if you don't have an extra hundred dollars, you team up with three strangers, pay a drowsy driver, and travel there for 15 hours—through the heat, waterless steppes, a series of gas stations, and anxious sleep. The editorial team of HD magazine, through firsthand experience, figured out how intercity collective taxis work—one of the most important elements of everyday culture in present-day, non-touristic Uzbekistan.Feride Mahsetova#Traditions#Heritage & Identity
