Back on the road again. Back to Syria for another trip with my team. It wasn't a good start. Taxi came 30 minutes late. Only just managed to catch the flight. Then off to Vienna before flying to Damascus. There the plane had to follow a holding pattern before being allowed to land. The irony is that the plane was 30 minutes late leaving Vienna but managed to claw back the lost time, only to be asked to fly around for 30 minutes before being let to land!Anyway while flying aimlessly over the Syrian airspace, I went looking for obvious landmarks. Saw this one which looks like a power station. Because Syria is quite barren and cloudless most of the time, it is easy to spot any standing structure on the ground. Not long ago a neighbour made an intrusion into the country and bombed a facility that they claimed to be a nuclear facility. Don't know who is right. But it is difficult to hide anything here from being seen by spy planes or sattelites.
