This amphitheater is carved right from the mountain rock. It's a little different from the other ancient theaters in Jordan because of its (grand) setting and the pinkish-red color. Surrounded by a lot of small Nabataean tombs, affirming that it's a part of Petra. The panoramic views of this place from the trek to the Treasury viewpoint are also spectacular.

With a small piece of metal, he scratched a message on the cell wall,
"“DIE DIT KOMPASS AANZIET
BERISP DEN KNOEIJER NIET
BEDENK DAT LEEGEN TIJD
TOT KNOEIERIJEN MIJ LEIDT
EN DAT VOOR TIJDVERDRIJF
IK DIT HIER NEDERSCHRIJF”
“TO THE ONE WHO SEES THIS COMPASS
DON’T REPRIMAND THE SCRIBBLER
THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT EMPTY TIME
LEADS TO SCRIBBLING
AND THAT FOR PASTIME
I WROTE THIS HERE DOWN”
(Translation by Nilca van Leyen)
He wanted to express what he felt. After that, he awaited his fate...

Rainforests of Bengkulu province are also home to the world's tallest flower and possibly the smelliest flower Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum), known locally as Kibut or also known as bunga Bangkai.
The flower is a rich red, with a huge yellow stamen protruding from its core, when it throws up a spectacular flower spike than can stand over 2 m (6.5 feet) high. Titan Arum / Kibut creates such a stink because when the flower is fully open, it gets hot and emits a repulsive scent that is attractive to its pollinators. It only lasts about 3 days before collapsing. Read more at my blog virtualadrian.blogspot.com/2013/03/kibut-worlds-tallest-f...
