I welcome you to one week Jordan! I went there to visit my family and enjoy Jordan, friends and family. It was a good time with proper and plenty of food, tea, coffee and cigaretes.
It has a been a long time since my last post. This time was very turbulent and a lot of things happened. Still working on this pictures wich include roadtripping for two month this summer. I had to break the chronology and push Jordan forward.

| We wanted to enter our farmarea as every year. But this time they weren´t that friendly at the military Checkpoint and seized my camera. But on the way back the Genaral of the local militarybase invited us to a coffee and apologized. In the end he allowed me to fotograph everything I want. And thats it. On the right you can see Mr. General. |
