    Honorable Mention

These cyanotypes depict some ruins of Old Marib, a very interesting, historic, small and uninhabited city located in Yemen. I printed the positive photos that I had taken, in order to have an illusion of night shots as a final sesult. I toned the cyanotypes using black tea without bleaching. I borrowed the title of this project from the collection of the ancient Arabic folk tales, as well as from the title of the movie that Pier Paolo Pasolini filmed in some places in Yemen.
