RpB in Near East 2005 - Syria - Palmyra

This is again a place where I completely flipped out taking pictures:

Children playing:

The first picture of the ruins:

A scarab:

The interior and exterior of the tombs:

The temple of Bel:


Recycling in ancient times:

These arabian chicks apparently wanted to be fotographed, they didn't move until I had taken the picture...

This somehow reminded me of Pisa...

The Roman Theatre:

The stone deteriorates differently than in Petra and Jerash...

Dunno:

The Arch:

A taxi?

The obligatory crusader castle of Palmyra:

View from the castle:

Watch out!

In the castle, I went into this utterly dark room, and almost tripped into this hole...

Clouds in the desert:

A gorgeous sunset:

The next day...

... I got up a 6.30 and took pictures:
I wasn't the only early bird...

Of the 16 columns of the tetrapylon, only one is not fake...

Note how I placed the castle on top of the roman ruins...

A football field with scenery...
