Exactly what George said. This is a beautiful image, regardless of place.

As for the news, I am fairly sure that what I see on the BBC is a more 
accurate reflection of the overall situation in Syria than what the Syrians 
themselves see. To call it a sorry mess would be an understatement. I am 
writing this at a hotel in Brussels, the sun is shining and there is a 
military vehicle parked on the square below to try to protect me from people 
who have returned from Syria with stupid ideas.

Kind regards,
Nathan
