A Bedouin sheppard herds his flock under the imposing ruins of the Arab castle in Palmyra, Syria. I was wondering... what were the sheep gonna eat?



The Great Waterwheel at Hama, Syria. They bring water up into the acqeducts with these things... very ancient and still in use. They water their gardens with these things! However, these wheels have weird smell to them.



Me in the ruins of Palmyra... there were literaly a handful of tourists in this vast, vast ruins. I could explore the ruins for hours without encountering anyone. It was like Indiana Jones...



The medieval souq in Aleppo... my guidebook said that most parts of Syria were spared the destructive process of Industrialization, so the cities most well preserved (and still look medieval) are in Syria. This souq was beautiful...



Decked out in Arab armour in Damascus... they let me do this because I bought 2 silk scarves from the guy. BADASS




That's it for now! more later!
