Zooming out

5+ months in Amman and around, 5+ months later I'm running out of pictures. Should go back soon.

Have a seat

In Amman it's not unusual to find a seats on the streets. Whether you are actually able to sit on them or not.

Found in translation

In the Arabic-speaking countries I often got lost in translation. In Amman I also once found myself in it.

The moon is falling

My little pink camera could not handle the nighttime in Amman - it made the moon drop.

Blocks and rocks

Amman is quite a stone town.

Mango street in my mind

I used to walk on Omar bin al-Khattab street almost every day. Too bad I rarely took pictures. Here are some last memories.

To the anonymous

200th post. With these blurry faces and body parts I'm paying tribute to some of the people (and places and moments) who made a difference in my life in Amman and around. And the ones not present in this post: even if I never took unrecognizable photos of you, you are still part of this life-changing experience and always special to me. <3

King who?

It's not Abdullah or Hussein, I understand that much. So who could it be?

King's shoes

Exactly a year ago Jordan's King Abdullah said he would step down if he was in Assad's shoes (see video). Hopefully it never gets to that point.

King under my shoes

I found this king on the ground in Amman already early in the spring, so it can't be taken as a sign of Abdullah II's fate.

Palestinian Space Agency

I found this ripped sticker of PSA in downtown Amman. It turned out that PSA is an interesting art project.

Between noise and peace

Deep breathing and peace to all in Jordan.

Rumble bee

Muscle trucks in the city. Really don't see the point.

Tito

As an exception to the rule of me hating the excess of cars in Amman: I liked Tito right away.

Golden boy

Male mannequins are far more infrequent sight in Amman than the female ones.

Traditionally scary 2

I have only one word: freaky!

Peek-a-boo

I don't see you.

Reflections

The view from this bar above Amman is amazing, but it's almost better reflected (and you all know how I love reflections).

Amman sunset, once more



One of the most beautiful Ammani sundowns was also the last one I saw - yet. Hope there are more to come.

Blue pool

One of the last days of my Amman spring we spent on/by an amazing outside pool with a view of the city.
