The old mosque...

Damascus
One of the oldest mosques in one of the oldest cities in history...Damascus.
After the destruction of Bagdad it looks as the next one to go....
The world's oldest woomb of civilization and culture, Mesopotamia, is steadily becoming a poor and defendless pray to the claws of greedy beasts...

A superb scene, which, together with your words tells of the greed and inhumanity of the human race. Thee have been many civilizations that have risen on thi earth, only to be destroyed by human greed and hatered. I fear that it will ever be thus.

An excellent scene hat is full of great details.

Excelente composición con perfecto tratamiento de alto contraste.Destaca la figura humana que se replica en el minarete y los restos pétreos que lo hacen con las edificaciones de viviendas en el fondo.Una imagen fuerte para un mensaje fuerte,amigo Alexander; uno de los centros originales de nuestra civilización convertido en un matadero… ganan los verdugos , mueren los inocentes ¿ Hay algo nuevo en esto ? ¿ De quien descendemos ? ¿De los que fueron exterminados o de los exterminadores?. La descendencia de Caín prospera en el mundo…
Cordialmente

Excellent composition with perfect treatment of high contrast.
Stresses the human figure that is replicated in the minaret, and the stone remains as they do with the buildings housing the bakground.A strong image for a strong message, friend Alexander; one of the original centers of civilization turned into a slaughterhouse ... win the executioners, the innocent die Is there anything new? Whose descend? Did those who were killed or exterminators ?. The descendants of Cain thrives in the world ...
cordially
Alfredo
