moments in AQABA, Jordan

I’m no good at geography unless I’ve been there, if you know what I mean BUT
Aqaba is wealth, poverty, old world, new world all rolled into one; right next to Egypt AND Israel…

here’s some Maths from my day here: wealth = waste, greed = waste, wealth+greed = misery life= music [esp Jordanian]laughter, children and I know how to say thankyou in Arabic

The Aqaba pictures I’ve chosen from about 80 film clips/stills I’ve taken tell this story. Here are some captions:

BL ghosts2,3
brake oil
children’s playground + shady space
costly view
empty plastic Aqaba
heavenly kindling
old mosque excavation

those who want to see Petra, Wadi Rum etc, you know where to find it. I never was much of a tourist, but I have to say Suez was stunning. EVERYONE in the world has an equal right to see it.

best beams, Baglady
