| Got to travel to the Middle East once again - this time to Damascus, Syria. Again, not a lot of time for siteseeing, but we managed a trip to the old city souk(market) after dark. Here lies one of the largest and oldest mosques in the world - Umayyad Mosque. From what I've read, buildt between year 706 and 715. |

Hi Torbjörn,
great nightshot. The walls are in a warm tone of the artificial light. Have you blackened the sky?
Kind regards,
Roland
