Downtown Amman, Jordan. In the middle picture you can see the Roman Amphitheatre, built during the reign of Marcus Aurelius (169-177AD), which could seat 6,000 people.

Making some travel plans for this year. First getaway - Morocco in April. I'm very very very excited. I love this old editorial with Jessica Stam in Essaouira, by Patrick Demarchelier, for Vogue UK.

Chanel Couture Spring 2010.
The wedding dress, left, took 1300 hours of work in the atelier, and its cape featured 200 metres of tulle and silk.

Qusayr 'Amra, Jordan. It's the best preserved of the desert castles (and a UNESCO World Heritage site), and was built as a bathhouse for travelling caravans. It has separate hot, warm and cold rooms, an elevated water-tank, a masonry-lined deep well, and an apparatus for drawing water from the well into the water-tank. Pretty amazing, as it was built sometime between 661-750 AD. I found the desert castles interesting because there's nothing around them for miles and miles and miles - they're just a stop on the road, a resting-place for travellers.
