A colorful floral pattern pops out of the ceiling Another day, another exquisite, hand-painted ceiling in Amman. Just like the other hand-painted wood ceiling I posted about a few weeks ago, the work was done by an old Syrian man. This one is actually in my flat, and I may or may not have taken this picture while laying on my back on the living room floor. Technical: Nikon D3100, post processed from RAW with darktable.

Easily one of the most unique buildings in Amman Even if the number number of mosques in Amman didn&rsquo;t outnumber churches by a factor of ten, the Saint Thaddeus Armenian Apostolic church would still stand out. It caught my eye once a few weeks ago and then I started seeing it every time I glanced at Jabal Al-Ashrafieh. After weeks of squinting and asking myself &ldquo;Is that an Armenian church?&rdquo; I finally went on an epic scavenger hunt and found it.

Beautiful hand-painted wood panels on the ceiling There&rsquo;s an old Syrian man who does this fantastic hand painting on wood panels in Amman. A few flats in our building have them installed on the ceiling, but this one takes the cake. I&rsquo;m not sure if it&rsquo;s typical for the region or not — the man was referencing pictures from a Russian art book — but they are exquisite.
