Great to see this. I travelled to Syria on 1979, I was only 14. I took some shots. Visiting also Aleppo, Homs, Damascus and Palmyra. Wish to return one day, your images invite me to do so. I really enjoy the naturality of your pictures.

And say besides, that in Aleppo once,
Where a malignant and a turban'd Turk
Beat a Venetian and traduced the state,
I took by the throat the circumcised dog,
And smote him, thus. --Shakespeare Othello)
