Displaced Syrians living along the side of the road in #Kilis, #Turkey, in a makeshift tents created with plastic tarps located a few kilometers from the border with #Syria.

Fleeing Terror, Finding Refuge ~ My latest story for @ナショナルジオグラフィック magazine on #Syrianrefugees in Turkey, Part IV of the @outofedenwalk, published in the March 2015 issue, available now at newsstands everywhere.

#Outtakes/Personal Note: There were already hundreds of thousands of Syrians living in #refugeecamps in Turkey near the Syrian border when I began photographing this story for National Geographic in September 2014. For thousands more, being a refugee meant finding shelter in anyplace possible like the few hundred people I met in this makeshift camp 2k from the Syrian border in Kilis.

Arriving to this small temporary village, I was greeted warmly, offered hot tea, biscuits and would sit for hours during the heat of the day listening to their tragic stories of leaving their homes with only the few items they had as war spread throughout the country.

Leaving on my last visit, I came upon this implausible landscape of color; Pink and blue lights mixing with yellow sodium gas vapor street lamps under a darkening blue sky, a symphony of tones befitting a psychedelic dream (the colors are not enhanced, actuality slightly reduced). Within the layered tones, I noticed a women with a young child resting on a plastic stool while other children played amidst drying laundry. It reminded that even in difficult situations there are moments of pause, to play, seeking comfort amongst others, doing so under a canopy of staggering color. This photograph never ran in this months issue but I’m thankful to share it here.

Please pick up the March 2015 edition of National Geography not only to read the brilliant writing by #PaulSalopek, also to feel, understand the weight and measure of what it means to be displaced, a devastating reality for millions around our planet today as Paul and I continue walking along the pathway our collective humanity took out of Africa that began some 60,000 years ago ~ John Stanmeyer
