Viewpoint
Favor the classic elevated viewpoint looking toward the Citadel of Aleppo from a nearby historic rooftop or park (such as from the south or west), showing courtyard treetops and stone arches in the foreground, the formidable limestone glacis and bridge-gateway of the Citadel in the middle-ground, and the vast northern Syrian plateau fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the Aleppo pines of the Public Gardens, olive groves surrounding the plateau, and courtyard cypress trees.
