I just visited Damascus for the first time since 2006. I grew up there, so the trip was a LOT of emotions.

A few photos from the trip.

1. One the major streets of Damascus, Nasr Street
2. A community centre in the old city. Film directing students are gathered in the courtyard for a lesson. Very neglected treasure of a building.
3. The Hamadieh market in the old town
4. Sunrise/moon set in the edge of the city. Solar panels everywhere.

A view from the street, a beautiful building in yellow stone, in front of it a row of palm trees. Behind it is mount Qasioun, the famous mountain of Damascus.
A gathering at a community centre in the courtyard of an old building. Classical Damascene architecture, black and white tiling on the walls, arched windows.
One of the covered markets of the old city, the roof is arched, made of metal, with bands of LED lights along it. Shops line both sides of the street, and people everywhere.
Sunrise/moon set on one of the mountains that hug the city. A full moon is in the background, the foreground is lots of trees. Medium-rise buildings in the middle, with lots of solar panels on their roofs.

I was chatting to a Syrian yesterday about good times I had visiting in 2006-2008. It was a mix of smiles, sadness and hope of recent developments.

So nice to see your pictures.
