p.1 #1 · Palmyra, Syria

I had the chance to spend a couple of days in Syria for work. Unfortunately, I had very little time (and no tripod), which made photography difficult. It was a pretty fascinating place though, and I'd love to go back someday...

Cool. The high angle shot shows lots of areas with great potential.

Thanks for sharing with those of us who will probably never see this very intriguing place.

Very interesting

You don't always need a tripod with today's DSLRs and lenses as yours prove.

Very cool,

Having been there years ago (not Palmyra specifically) and always thought there were a lot of sites with photographic potential.

Would also be interested if you have anything else to show?

best,

Great set Rebecca - I love that second one with the little slice of moon. Roman period middle eastern architecture was always my favorite photo scenery in the Jordan/Syria/Lebanon area.

The last one is a fun one for me to discover that I can still read the arabic street signs 30 years after I was last in the middle east.

Thanks for sharing.

These shots bring back memories of slides my father took in Libya in the mid 60's. (pre Ghadafi) lots of ancient ruins in a similar setting. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks everyone... it was a really amazing place to visit, and could have spent much more time there.

Here's another view from the top of the castle. All of the crumbled brick structures are the remains of old tombs. Some are very elaborate underground.

You did a very good job without tripod, I think you didn't need it anymore. The rosy color is very nice, I especially like #1.

A very fine collection Rebecca. They are all nice but my favourite is #1 with the rich warm colours and excellent detail

I should add that this was my first trip with the D700, and it's true that a tripod is hardly necessary with that camera!
