Iraq, Marsh House, 2002
Iraq, Marsh House, 2002 - In our eight days in Iraq, six months before the American invasion in 2003, we saw this traditional Marsh Arab house. We were on our way from Basra to Baghdad. I felt fortunate to see this exquisite example of construction from natural materials. It reminded me of Wilfred Thesiger, the author of The Marsh Arabs, famed British explorer who traveled across the Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia.
