The Syrian horse sculpture can be found standing on the cliffs over looking the entrance to Uddevalla's harbour. Standing at 5 meters tall and weighing just over 500kg it's quite an impressive statue. And one that is photographed quite often (though not by me)!

Palmyra is a set of spectacular ruins in Syria (which none of us have visited recently), but which I was fortunate to have seen in 2001. ISIS dynamited several of the monuments here, murdered the chief historian, etc. and tried to remove any evidence of any pre-Islam religion. The Brits set up a model of this arch in London (Trafalgar Sq), which was on the news yesterday.
Preservationists/archaeologists who have visited the site (since its recent re-capture by the Syrian govt) are cautiously optimistic that some of these monuments (including this arch) can be reconstructed...

The good shepherd seemed anxious that the unusual occurrence of a steam hauled train, albeit a ramshackle one, might spook the flock. He need not have worried - they all took it in their stride.

It's been awhile since I've posted, but I still have been lurking the past couple months.
Enjoy this Syrian rebel outpost I finished a couple of weeks ago.
I have a Russian SU-34 Medium Bomber in the works and an artillery piece I will be posting soon.

The site was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of Ancient Villages of Northern Syria in 2011.

Bosra has an ancient history and during the Roman era it was a prosperous provincial capital and Metropolitan Archbishopric, under the jurisdiction of Eastern Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East. It continued to be administratively important during the Islamic era, but became gradually less prominent during the Ottoman era. It also became a Latin Catholic titular see and the episcopal see of a Melkite Catholic Archeparchy. Today, it is a major archaeological site and has been declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Of the city which once counted 80,000 inhabitants, there remains today only a village settled among the ruins. The 2nd century Roman theater, constructed probably under Trajan, is the only monument of this type with its upper gallery in the form of a covered portico which has been integrally preserved. It was fortified between 481 and 1231.
Further, Nabatean and Roman monuments, Christian churches, mosques and Madrasahs are present within the half ruined enceinte of the city. The structure of this monument a central plan with eastern apses flanked by 2 sacristies exerted a decisive influence on the evolution of Christian architectural forms, and to a certain extent on Islamic style. Al-Omari Mosque of Bosra is one of the oldest surviving mosques in Islamic history.
Portions of the Ancient City of Bosra were destroyed during combat on 22 December 2015. There is fear of further deterioration due to severe damage to the western courtyard adjacent to Bosra’s 2nd century Roman theatre and to parts of the Ayyubid citadel which surrounds it.
