Syria - A Year Ago
It's now exactly a year ago since I visited Syria. This is a picture I took of one of the water wheels in Hama. All this spring - as I've been watching demonstrations in the streets in town after town in Syria on my TV screen - I've been thinking a lot about all the places I visited. One thing I do remember from Hama was the wailing sound of these large wooden water wheels. I can imagine how this wailing sound would have been mixed with the wailing from funeral processions passing by on days following demonstrations.
Here's a link to what I wrote last year about all the amazing places I saw in Syria in June 2010.
