Old Jordan Railway, Jordan, 1996
"All that remains of the Hejaz Railway in south Jordan is scraps of rusty iron; here Lawrence [of Arabia] dynamited Turkish trains and tracks, catching the world's attention. In turn, war shattered Lawrence and his illusions. He was captured by the Turks, beaten, and raped. And when the revolt succeeded, his country betrayed his Arab comrades."
