<p>Another day, another exquisite, hand-painted ceiling in Amman. Just like the <a href="/2016/09/beautiful-hand-painted-woodwork/">other hand-painted wood ceiling</a> 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.</p> <p>Another day, another exquisite, hand-painted ceiling in Amman.

<p>There&rsquo;s an amazing wetland nature preserve an hour and a half from Amman — in thirty minutes of walking around, I saw birds, snakes, crabs, fish, and even water buffaloes! For thousands of years it was a massive, thriving oasis whose ecological diversity supported human settlements, but in the past few decades it has come dangerously close to drying up due to increased water usage from surrounding cities.</p> <p>There&rsquo;s an amazing wetland nature preserve an hour and a half from Amman — in thirty minutes of walking around, I saw birds, snakes, crabs, fish, and even water buffaloes!

<p>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.</p> <p>There&rsquo;s an old Syrian man who does this fantastic hand painting on wood panels in Amman.
