The Roman ruins of Jerash are nearly deserted. None of the high season tourists are here. It allows my imagination to run wild, and me to have a moment to take photographs, something that is less of a priority when the group arrive.

A don;t conult a gudebook, preferring to wander. Next visit will be with a local guide and I can listen between times of counting heads to ensure all are accounted for.

The sound of bagpipes floats across the ruins. In an ampitheatre stands a lone piper, making music for the few visitors at this late in the day. It;s a lonely, haunting sound, and quite fitting for the location.
