Montreal is a Crusader castle on the eastern side of the Arabah, perched on the side of a rocky, conical mountain, looking out over fruit trees below. The ruins, called Shoubak or Shawbak in Arabic, are located in modern town of Shoubak in Jordan.
This was a crusader castle originally, but it was destroyed about 70 years after being built. Montreal castle finally fell to the famous Saladin after a two year siege, and most of what remains today was built by Mameluks.

Château du désert en Jordanie
Le Qasr Kharana (en arabe قصر خرّانة), parfois appelé Qasr al Harrana, Qasr al Kharanah, Kharaneh ou Hraneh, est un des châteaux du désert les plus connus. Situé à l'Est de la Jordanie, à environ soixante kilomètres à l'Est d'Amman, il est relativement proche de la frontière avec l'Arabie saoudite.
Il a probablement été construit au début du viiie siècle comme en témoigne une inscription de l'une des chambres subsistant malgré l'influence du courant sassanide. Qasr Kharaba a certainement remplacé une maison grecque ou byzantine antérieure. C'est un des premiers exemples d'architecture islamique dans la région.

Acadia National Park is mostly located on Mount Desert Island, the largest island off the coast of Maine. It is rich in coastal scenery. With a record of 338 bird species encountered, Acadia National Park is considered one of the premier bird-watching areas in the country. www.nps.gov/acad/learn/nature/birds.htm
The Jordan Pond Gatehouse and its counterpart, Brown Mountain Gatehouse, guard the entrance to Acadia's historic carriage roads with the intention of preventing automobiles from entering. In 1931, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. commissioned New York architect Grosvenor Atterbury in association with John Thompkins to design the elaborate gatehouses and gatekeepers' residences. Attenbury attempted in the design to recall the island's colonial heritage, choosing a highly picturesque style reminiscent of the provincial architecture of the Le Puis district in France. After their completion in 1932, Rockefeller donated both gatehouses to Acadia National Park. The lodges were to house the respective gatekeepers. Construction of the two gate lodges on Mount Desert Island provided many local men a job during the depression.

Thank you for visiting, and for your kind comments and faves. They are greatly appreciated!
Evening hours at Jordan Lake as the sun was setting. The lake was very calm. It was perfect time to experiment with slightly longer shutter speeds than normal to smooth out the water.
Once again many thanks for visits, comments and faves, much appreciated!
Jordan’s an ancient land with a rich history, but the modern history of Petra is equally as fascinating. The city was lost to Europeans until 1812 when Johann Ludwig Burckhardt found the valley inhabited by semi-nomadic Bedouins. That is why Petra is often called the Lost City. Archeological studies began in earnest in 1929 and continue today.
People come to see the buildings carved from sandstone in relief, like the Treasury, which is why Petra is called the Rose City. This ancient and powerful Nabataean Kingdom that rivaled the power of a Decapolis City. During the Roman formation of Judea and only came under Roman rule 200 years later when the emperor Trajan annexed Arabia.
(wikipedia) ll fiume Giordano nasce dal Monte Hermon (2700 m), sul confine libano-siriano, è lungo 320 km ed attraversa Libano, Siria, Giordania, Israele e Palestina. Nasce dalla congiunzione dei fiumi Hasbani, Banyas e Dan.
Raggiunge il Lago di Tiberiade (o di Genezareth, biblico Mare di Galilea) e sfocia nel Mar Morto, a 397 m circa sotto il livello del mare, percorrendo la vallata del Gohr, scorrendo in una fossa tettonica collegabile al sistema di fosse dell'Africa orientale.
Il fiume Yarmuk è il suo più importante tributario.
La sua portata d'acqua è molto diminuita in questi anni, a causa dello sfruttamento delle acque (sue e dello Yarmuk). Mediamente porta alla foce nel Mar Morto meno di 30 metri cubi al secondo, con piene che, tuttavia, possono superare i 300 metri cubi al secondo. Questa drastica diminuzione potrà avere gravi conseguenze sul Mar Morto.
Per i Cristiani è un fiume molto importante poiché vi fu battezzato Gesù, viene spesso menzionato nell'Antico e nel Nuovo Testamento; è meta di numerosi pellegrinaggi.
Nome in ebraico: נהר הירדן (significa scendere, andare giù)
Nome in arabo: نهر الأردن
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Petra, originally known to the Nabataeans as Raqmu, is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. The city is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved.
Established possibly as early as 312 BC as the capital city of the Arab Nabataeans. The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who took advantage of Petra's proximity to regional trade routes to establish it as a major trading hub. The Nabataeans are also known for their great ability in constructing efficient water-collecting methods in the barren deserts and their talent in carving structures into solid rocks. Petra lies on the slope of Jebel al-Madhbah (identified by some as the biblical Mount Hor) in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812, when it was introduced by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt.

Well finally haha. I’ve seen several similar shots out there but I don’t care. I finally got to see Neowise with a fairly clear sky. Brought my wife and a couple of kids along on a round the pond midnight trek and they proved to be great cloud repellant. Also nice to have the company when the loons started yelling.
I don’t think a description is needed. There’s the Bubbles. There’s the comet!
