More pics
I’m still snowed under with work but it’s easing off a bit and I should get to post a bit more this week. I’ve also been frantically putting the finishing touches to an update of my Islamic Art/Tribal rugs site and have been scanning in dozens of pictures. In the process of this I found a few interesting ones (?) which I post below.
Also been working on an extended article on Ibn Arabi’s work particularly al-futuhat al-makkiyya (The Meccan Openings) with reference to Corbin and Chittick’s researches on ‘Creative Imagination’ and I will post something of that here soon.
Meanwhile, the pics below in order are an Aleppo street scene, the blind Halveti Dervishes in the Mosque of Damascus, Aleppo souq and the Ottoman cemetery in Istanbul.
