Sometimes the most uncomfortable moments produce the most rewarding - fighting off a dodgy belly, due to some incautious choices of cuisine, to rise at 4 AM and catch a taxi to the top of the mountain above Palmyra was one of these. Below us spread the incredible vista of the site of the Roman city, one of the largest archaeological sites in the world, glowing in the sunrise. To the west, cradled in dunes, stood the tower tombs, holding generations of families in their mysterious walls.
It's moments like these that makes lugging around stupidly heavy gear, and looking like a complete tourist, seem all worthwhile.

Wow such unreal photos.
The top one looks so unreal that it looks like a man made model! crazy..
thanks for sharing your work patty
Thanks for the kind words Ren - it took me about 2 hours to make them, really hard to get the mix of sand and water right to make them stand up ;-)
Great to know you are following from your corner of the world - hope you have a feliz Navidad and a muy prospero año nuevo!
