Great color, complexity, and human interest?wonderful images. 

I didn't see any rug weaving when I was in Aleppo, though I did see a lot of 
rug sellers and a couple of weavers in Turkey. How I wish I had had the 
flexibility then that we have now of imaging, at a marginal cost of $0.00 
per frame, every interesting scene I encountered, from every interesting 
angle and FL. (Of course, that attitude is the antithesis of the talent of 
visualizing the one stellar composition and photographing it economically! 
For me, quantity is an often-necessary substitute for this talent. For you, 
not so much!)
