Al-Bu Kamal, 1936
A stunning aerial photo of the Syrian border town of al-Bu Kamal, on the Euphrates, before the river flows into Iraq. From the IFPO (French Institute for the Near East). The photo is dated March 6, 1936. The river to the left, the fertile plain, and the wide open desert, all the way to Iraq, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
I see it is a little way downstream of Dura-Europos. That is a spectacular shot.
