The Necropolis at Palmyra (Syria)

Originally uploaded by teekay.

I recently chanced upon prints of these pictures (more to follow) that I took in Syria during a trip in August/September 1990. Since the negatives were destroyed in a flood last year and the prints are yellowing a bit, I decided to scan them. The result ain’t great but it’s better than *not* having them.

The structures you can see in the background are three-story monuments to the dead of this desert town.
