Palmyra before the devastation sent on April 01, 2017 (14:57) by Marmor. 6 comments, 585 views.

1/250 f/4.5, ISO 200, hand held.

nei primi mesi di quest'anno 2017 la comunità internazionale ha diramato l'informazione, assunta specialmente attraverso le foto effettuate dai satelliti in orbita terrestre, che nel sito archeologico siriano, da molti mesi in mano ad estremisti che conducono guerra nel paese, abbiano distrutto in gran parte le antiche rovine, già peraltro patrimonio dell'umanità. Questo mio ritratto è stato scattato nell'aprile del 1988 con compatta Canon; immagine rifotografata in digitale.

I too had been in the 90's ............ What if Palmyra, one day, could recreate the same emotions that aroused visitors before the war.

Giorgio, thanks to the testimony, I fear that demolished ruins will be hard to remedy a great deal.
If not like Saddam Hussein did, reconstructing Babylon with his name between the bricks, in a kind of Cinecittà, in the final look: -o

Very sad to see thousand-year-old monuments disappear in a few years, especially if by man.
As who appreciate culture is an incomprehensible fact.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
