Syria Photo Gallery by Azlin Ahmad at pbase.com

Syria

This gallery is significant to me, because it was my first on pbase!

Syria is still relatively undiscovered as a tourist destination, which makes it a fascinating place to visit. An unforgettable sight is Palmyra bathed in the morning sunlight, where the sun turns the ruins a wonderful golden colour, all the more spectacular because there is virtually no one else in sight at that hour. These photos were taken in September - October 2004.

Outstanding gallery of a country I have always wanted to visit. I really regret now not doing that during the eight years we lived in Turkey.

Thank you very much for sharing these images with us! I had the opportunity to visit Syria when I travelled to Jordan back in 1997. I didn't take it, which I regret so much now as it will never be the same again....

Your collection of photos are beautiful.We spent a month in Syria in 2002, saw many of these places and found it the most fascinating country. We also took oodles of photos, a country well worth visiting, so much ancient history.

Stunning gallery! I sat down with a cup of hot tea when I started viewing these images, and was so captivated by them that by the time I remembered to take a drink, my tea was cold.

Wonderful

Nice views of a beautiful country, that I have visited twice over the last two years! We often visited the same places, and it is interesting how differing personalities result in different shots. Well done! V :o)

Wonderful trip to Syria through this great gallery. We do get the feeling of this country. Bravo. V.

Hi Azlin, you have a wonderful collection of fantastic images here. I really like the compositions, colors, textures and subjects. Also, the use of negative space in some of the images has worked out very well.

Robert Charity		21-Aug-2006 02:57
well done, now I visit too

Peg O'Brien		17-Aug-2006 12:29

superb gallery

Looks like a beautiful place, the colour in the market place really contrasts with the uniformity of the colour of the buildings. Some spectacular ruins too by the looks of it.
