small waterfall in the Wadi Barada, a river valley in the city of Damascus, Syria

small waterfall in the Wadi Barada, a river valley in the city of Damascus, Syria. The waterfall is made of several stacked stone steps. Water flows over the steps and into a calm pool below. A single person walks away from the camera, along the riverbank to the right of the waterfall. Lush green trees and foliage line the riverbanks. The photo was taken from the riverbank looking down onto the waterfall. The sun is shining brightly and casting shadows in the water. The image was likely captured in the early morning, as the light is bright but not harsh.
