Hello Marcel,
Thanks for your nice and kind message. I am a great admirer of your pictures, you are a really talented photographer (are you a professional? or what you do for work? I hope that I am not imposing) Also, I have worked and lived in Syria during a few years, and it is quite obvious that both of us share the same admiration for and love of this country's people, architecture and history...
This special photo is one of your superb pictures; but what I find most amazing is the fact that I took a photo of the same man in Aleppo, with the same arjila in almost in the same place (check my Aleppo gallery)! However my shot is not as lovely as yours.
The world is becoming a small place, isn't it?
