These three are a fascinating series, Helen. The light is particularly beautiful in this one and the landscape doesn't look quite so forbidding. V

This is so great, almost looking like a fortress and again the architectural style of Yemen!

Well captured,Helen.. It almost looks like it is beyond restoration..

maybe it is difficult, but would prefer to see this 'stabilised' but not restored as English heritage do. Something epic about the raw stone and simple buildings almost growing from it
