RE: Learning From The Ruins Of The Middle East + My Entry For @derangedvisions Photography Contest
Well written @helenoftroy! Great photos. Having lived in the Middle East briefly myself I also found it intriguing (although) sad exploring the ruins of what should be a great nation if it weren't for those tyrants.
Thanks so much @buckaroo! I got to teach ancient history and Kurdish history during that time and it was amazing/depressing to watch the cycle of tyrannical rulers happen again and again. I tried to impress on my students the importance of self-governance ... otherwise there are those who will be more than happy to rule over you!
P.S. I’ll upvote your comment when my voting power is back up!
