In shared taxi on way to Urgench from Nukus. We passed a castle built to defend against Ghengis Khan (picture 2 below). Behind it is the Amu Darya river otherwise known as Oxus River, immortalized by Robert Byron's classic book "The Road to Oxiana" which recounts his travels through the Middle East in 1937-1938. The green in the first picture is where the river is - the Amu Darya eventually becomes the border with Afghanistan.
