Syria, july 2002.

A change of direction has been underway in Syria over the last few days, following a sudden upheaval in the political situation and the fall of Damascus, which led to the long-awaited departure of the Assad clan.

Here are some images of Syria taken in July 2002, during a two-week visit through the country.

You can see more photographs of the Middle East (Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon) on my Website.

Un changement de direction est à l'oeuvre depuis quelques jours en Syrie, après un chamboulement éclair de la situation politique et la chute de Damas ayant entraîné le départ tant attendu du clan Assad.

Suivent ici quelques images de la Syrie prises en juillet 2002 lors d’un séjour de deux semaines à travers le pays.

From the Foreword...

(...) You might think that trying to find green spaces in such a densely built-on area would be like looking for a needle in a hay-stack, but they do exist: scraps and gaps of ground which have not been built on, beds planted with packed rows and layers of flowers, small paved areas, trees ringed with flowers as well as with low walls, the green alongside a railing or passageway, flowers on a concrete platform that holds up a tangled mass of steel.
