    Photos from Syria

    There are [5] photos from Syria

    While I was observing children marking lambs, their grandfather has approached me and invited me into his house for a cup of tasty arabic coffee. He put proudly on a display all his coffee pots and insisted that I had to take the picture of him and his wife when he is pouring the coffee into a cup. Later on I was offered to overnight there. That was a great end of my visit of syrian bedouins enclave. Hope they are safe and will survive the ongoing civil war without any harm.

Well, some creaturee are more creative than the others in finding ways how to fill up their stomach. And that´s the fascinating and inpiring thing about places like this - the ability of adaptation in order to survive in harsh, but beautiful environment - making use of everything.

Views[704] I went on a day trip from the city of Hama lying in fertile Orontes valley towards east to the edge of Syrian desert, where is thriving bedouin community in succession of small settlements, one of which is called Sarouj. Right after I got out of bus in first village I was greeted by the tractor driver and his jovial coworkers, who had appareantly so much fun with themselves. That was a great introduction into this place. Views[732]
