Kalybe of Il-Haiyat

Il-Haiyat, Trachon, Syria

2-3 century CE

The site is located in the east-east of the Tarkon, 7 km northwest of Laqqa. In front of us is a transverse structure, whose longitudinal axis is east-west.

The structure consisted of three halls arranged in one row, slightly identical in size. The main hall, which was apparently covered by a dome, opened to the north in an arched opening. The width of the opening is almost the same as the width of the hall. The main hall rose to a height of two storeys, while the two side halls were each divided horizontally into two storeys. The halls on the lower floor had small openings - an opening for each of the two halls - and on the second floor there were arranged windows above the openings. To the upper floor led the two staircases, placed in the thick walls that separated the main hall from the side halls. It is worth noting the existence of a semi-circular niche covered by a half-dome, which is unusually located, between the arch that crowns the central opening and the western window. The dimensions of the niche made it possible to place a statue in it.

South Temple of Atil

Atil, Hauran, Syria

151 CE

This small town contains two almost identically designed Roman temples, delicately fashioned from the local basalt stone. The south Temple stems from the Antonine period (151 CE) the second or North Temple (probably dedicated to the Nabataean deity, Theandrites) was built in 211–212 CE. The southern temple is better preserved, while the northern temple has been incorporated into a modern house and tomb. Both have attractively decorated facades with fine detail.

The trail back to the ridge, August.

And I can’t go without you, 2020 Munich-based photographer Michael Schauer shares his journey through the icy landscapes of the northern arctic. Though taken in different locations (Greenland and Norway) the burning red sunset brings the images together and fuses them into a glimpse of understanding why the arctic is such a fascinating and unique place.
