Al Quash, Iraq

Today we visited the Christian village of Al Quash.
It is a very old village but most of it was destroyed by Saddam Hussein.
There is a beautiful monastery there which runsa large orphanage.
This is a carving in the smaller monastery above the village.

Interesting to compare to the derelict pub window http://www.pbase.com/troonly/image/40677676

Wonderful detail and I am glad you explained it. I love these old architectural pieces and wonder how old this is.

The rich colours and textures you captured here are most beautiful... too bad much of it is destroyed! What you've captured here can never be destroyed ~ BRAVO
