Past travel with my old trusted Canon

I've been browsing my photo library and found some shots I took which I really haven't reviewed. Some of them I've posted on my facebook and some not.  I miss the Canon 5dmkii coupled with the 24-70L, one of the finest lens I ever had. These images were taken a couple of years back so I was still developing myphotographic skills and still learning until now.

Taken in Aleppo, Syria before the ensuing civil war. A beautiful and historic place. I let the pictures speak.  I wonder how the people are now if they are still able to smile or with the current conflict the place that I had been is now but a memory of its former self.

An Aleppian House. I love the architecture of this old styled home with this balconies and kind of Greco-inspired roof (correct me if I'm wrong).

I cannot recall where this is but probably in one of the entrances to the old city.

I found the ceiling pattern very nice and the doors to this room looked so ancient.

These two boys were eager to be photographed. Selling so late at night inside this old citadel.

I got up close and they posed.
