hmm... we see some old rocks here. For something like me, who knows very little about Syria, i can only guess what it is. The shot shows too little from a photgraphy point of view but i CAN be that this shot is of historical relevance. A note is really required here.

To Joost,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugarit

Ugarit (modern site Ras Shamra رأس شمرة; in Arabic) 35°35´ N; 35°45´E) was an ancient cosmopolitan port city, sited on the Mediterranean coast of northern Syria a few kilometers north of the modern city of Latakia. Ugarit was at its height about 1450 BC to 1200 BC. Ugarit sent tribute to Egypt and maintained trade and diplomatic connections with Cyprus(under the name Alashiya), documented in the archives recovered from the site and corroborated by Mycenaean and Cypriot pottery found there.
