SYRIA ::: CRAC DES CHEVALIERS

Storerooms  2 of 2
This was one of the deep storerooms below the level of the courtyard. Illumination came from some small windows and a breach in one of the inside walls. Light levels were so low that this picture needed a 20 minute exposure at f16. The curious curved bowls in the right foreground are the remnants of oil flasks. To protect against fire, the clay flasks were buried up to their necks in mortar which in the foreground has broken away.
