[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is from somewhere in the old part of Sanaa, a UNESCO world heritage. I don't remember which mosque this is, because this picture is from my very first day in the city, when I was walking aimlessly through the maze of winding, narrow lanes, being totally lost.
As I struggled to obtain correct colours for this scan of a Kodachrome slide I decided to just give the photo a sepia tone, because it reminds me of old photos from the "Orient".

Hej Gert,
Yes, this looks really old, the dresses of the men, the building etc. Everything gives an impression of a photo taken a long time ago by a real explorer.
