Source: Jordan Times, AmmanAug.迷你倉 15--AMMAN -- One photo was missing from Ala Hamdan's collection of hundreds-of-photos she took of Jordan's attractions, until last night."I always wanted to take a night overview shot of the Roman Theatre in downtown Amman from the Citadel," the amateur photographer said.Hamdan had not been able to take her "dream photo" because the Citadel in Jabal Qalaa neighbourhood usually closes at 5pm.But everything changed with "Amman's Candle".Hamdan was one of many professional and amateur photographers who were able to take photos of the Roman Theatre as it was lit by candles on Wednesday night.The "Amman's Candle" event was inspired by a similar activity held in Petra three days a week, said Mutaz Abo Alrub, who is behind the initiative."I liked the idea that Petra is lit by candles, so I wanted to hold the same event in Amman. I chose the Roman Theatre because it is one of the capita文件倉's main attractions," he told The Jordan Times on Wednesday.Abo Alrub said he got more than 200 tickets so that photographers could go to the Citadel and take photos of the Roman Theatre.He noted that all lights at the theatre were switched off and the site was only lit by candles.The event, held in cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Department of Antiquities, started at 8:15pm and wrapped up at 9:30pm."The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Department of Antiquities were really helpful. It only took me two days to organise the event," Abo Alrub said.In addition to celebrating one of Amman's main attractions, the event was also aimed at thanking all Jordanians who contributed to the capital's growth, he added.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Jordan Times (Amman, Jordan) Visit the Jordan Times (Amman, Jordan) at .jordantimes.com Distributed by MCT Information Services存倉
