Bringing you the second set of pictures shot during the past weekend in Damascus -Syria. I finally managed to gather some extra energy to post this, and to upload the pictures you are about to see. To complain about my PC and internet connection is really such a redundant fit, therefore I won’t do it.

This coming set of three was shot at “El Ezz” restaurant, also known as “Abu El Ezz”. This is probably my favorite location in the whole city of Damascus, alongside another restaurant. The food is amazing, the atmosphere magical, and the place just reeks of culture and art. I have always been accustomed to visiting it at night, they offer splendid entertainment; a live band playing Arabic tunes on real Arabic musical instruments, a singer who always seems to be high, people who are willing to volunteer for enchanting the public with their dancing, and loads upon loads of tourists, and all this is very affordable.



Now for some pictures from Souk Al Hamedeyye.

A hand-less bride model, is that very twisted or am I imagining things? Shirts and tops for very little money, and hand-made fridge magnets.

The following picture was also taken in Souk Al Hamedeyye. The interesting bit about it is that it is part of a series of similar signs, available in multiple languages and put up high above the heads of the crowds in the tunnel that is the Souk. It calls upon the Lebanese not to listen to a said Waleed Jinblat, and not to antagonize Syria. Politics, I would rather not have my fix while shopping.


I seem to enjoy shooting heaps of slippers, I find them so intriguing and so mass-production-isque. Some of them are really cheap stuff though.

Finally, a street in the Syrian capital.

More pictures are coming, once I manage to trick the machine into performing for me. Patience is virtue.
