 The Amman Citadel has a mixture of ruins from ancient time, Greek, Byzantine, Roman..a place worth a visit by tourists. It sits on a hill overlooking the old Amman downtown. I wanted to portray the scene that meets tourists in our part of the world, armed with automatic weapons, it's a little sad but a reality..

Very pretty lighting... so golden! I would love to visit Jordan someday. You've shown me such a beautiful place. Might be nice to see the boy in front of one of the pillars so he stands out a little more, but I'm really glad he's in the photo. He adds a lot of interest to an already super interesting spot. The exposure is perfect.
