I soooooooooooo needed this break, and I am happy to report I enjoyed every minute of it! Well almost - there is always an old, dormant family issue ready to pop up and ruin everything - but I had fun regardless.

I spent the morning and nights with granny and the rest of the day with my best buddy and his fiance. I was saddened that they separated a few months back but I am happy to report they went back to each other :w00t: I am so happy for them... the last time I was in Syria I attended their engagement so it was a good thing they came back together.

I spent a good deal of time outdoors but unfortunately I didn't have the liberty of time to take "well composed" shots. My wide angle lens was my companion, even if I didn't need to take a wide angle shot. I shot a lot of "snapshots" but very very few of them turned out to be dA-good but I am gonna "deviantisize" them. You can scroll down for the rest of the images ;)

I tried HDR photography. Unfortunately they turned out hideous. I didn't really know how HDR worked, and I couldn't take the tripod with me as well. Most of my other shots were taken from a moving car - so yeah good luck with those too.

Anyway, photos isn't the point. The point is that I am back and as refreshed as ever!

I have had a tremendous amount of exposure to humbleness, and I blogged about it if you're interested to read (you can find photos of granny there too).

I will attend to your deviations and journals in the coming days :)

PS: read your blog too, wasnt that long as much as you tried to set for us. this was really a writing of a refreshed person. i also caught the feeling of it by reading those lines.. smiling ad calm.

was interested what places you talked about and searched for it for my own curiousity.. got surprised that safita, damascus are that close to me.
btw i got lost a bit: where do you work and live now? how dubai comes in the view? and how regular you can visit eg your grandparents and your village?

have a nice weekend, K!!

Awww... that was so sweet of you!!! Close to you how? In distance or in lifestyle?

I currently work and live in Dubai. Basically, I lived most of my life in Saudi Arabia, and we visited Syria during the summer holidays. Then I moved to the UAE for my degree, and stayed there since, also visiting Syria during the summer. The last time I went to Syria though was during my final year in college, so it has been two years since I went to Syria.
