Majdal Shams, Druse border village.

Looking across a high ( approx 4000ft) fertile valley to Majdal Shams a Druze village. Previously Syrian and now a border outpost with the Mt Hebron Ski field nearby


Shades of Mongolia where horses are also a major mode of transport in the rural areas. This young 'boy racer,' challenged us to a race up the mountain on his horse..we had a ball and he won as the roads were quite precarious, Jane had white knuckles & made me slow down. Carmen you would have freaked out, jumped out and walked.!!



A picnic at the end of the road above the village under the eye of the Israeli machine gunner above Shelleys head. Can you spot him?
We were unaware that the previous day there had been a riot and the arrest of a local lad accused of spying for Syria.
