Damascus Map

the layers of roads influencing the layers above with buildings of so many ages, 5500 years of continuous settlement with evidence of a village even in 9000 BCE great variety in street line variety. Great texture varieties- plantings in urban orchards and parks, dry yards, etc...satellite view is rich. and I wish all its inhabitants peace and safety.
