This picture was taken by Coline Houssais, a postgraduate student in the Department of International Relations. It was taken in October 2007, in Damascus, Syria.
This must be one of the first pictures I took when I came to Syria. This beautiful and magical apparition set the tone of my stay in Damascus, a series of wonders and delights. On a more serious note I like the purity and beauty of the sky in contrast with the messiness and bleak colours of the city line.
