It is the traditional site of the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes (Mark 6:30-46) and the fourth resurrection appearance of Jesus (John 21:1-24) in Christianity. Until 1948, it was the site of an Arab village.
The earliest building at Tabgha was a small chapel built in the 4th century A.D. This was probably the shrine described by the pilgrim Egeria at the end of the 4th century:
In the same place (not far from Capernaum) facing the Sea of Galilee is a well watered land in which lush grasses grow, with numerous trees and palms. Nearby are seven springs which provide abundant water. In this fruitful garden Jesus fed five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish."[2]
The mosaic of the fish and loaves is laid next to a large rock, which has caused some New Testament scholars to speculate that the builders of the original church believed that Jesus stood on this rock when he blessed the fish and loaves just before the feeding of the crowd who had come to hear him.

The large monastery and a church were built in the fifth century. While some date the destruction of the site to the time of the Arab conquest, the church was most likely destroyed in 614 during the Persian invasion, for already in AD 670, Bishop Arculf had reported that only columns from the church remained.
In 1932, after nearly 1300 years of "solitude", two German archaeologists (Mader and Schneider) uncovered a number of the Byzantine church's walls and mosaics.
In 1981, after further excavations, the church was finally restored by German Benedictines to its Byzantine form, incorporating portions of the original mosaics.
Today, the church and surrounding land are property of the German Association of the Holy Land whose head is the Archbishop of Cologne. The site is further maintained by Benedictine monks from the Hagia Maria Sion Abbey, also known as Dormition Church, which is located on Mount Zion in Jerusalem.

I first started photographing graffiti in 1999, and in 2000 I setup a website to share my photos. Initially a mix of different subjects, but it soon became almost entirely of graffiti. I uploaded over 6000 photos to this site. Eventually Flickr came along a few years later and I started using that instead, and stopped updating the website. I shut it down completely a few years ago.
I occasionally get requests from people for photos of pieces by specific graffiti writers, and I thought it might be a good idea to upload them all to Flickr.
Most of these photos were taken on film, scanned, and saved at a small size, back in the day when people were still using 56k modems to connect to the internet and small filesizes were desirable. So apologies for the quality and size for some of these. Someday I'd like to get them all scanned in again at a higher resolution.
Like my photos? Buy me a coffee!

TABGHA, ISRAEL (April 10, 2013) - The Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes, along the shore of the Sea of Galilee. This church also contains a rock called "table of the Lord" and is likely where he dined during the miracle. The mosaics on the floor date to the 5th century.
Cardinal Seán and a group of 29 priests of the Archdiocese of Boston have traveled on an Easter pilgrimage to the Holy Land this week, and they're bringing the readers of TheGoodCatholicLife.com blog along with them.
On the third day of their pilgrimage, the group celebrated Mass at the Church of the Beatitudes; took a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee; visited Capernaum, where Jesus began his ministry; went to Caesarea Philippi, where Jesus named Peter the rock on which he would build His Church; went to the Church of the Multiplication of Loaves and Fishes; and more.
All this week, our colleague George Martell is traveling with the pilgrimage, embedded with the Cardinal and his priests so we can bring you photos, blogs, videos, and audio reports from the Holy Land from the pilgrims at such places as the Basilica of the Annunciation, Mount Carmel, the Sea of Galilee, the Church of the Transfiguration, Qumran, the Mount of Olives, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Upper Room, and more. This once in a lifetime opportunity to walk in the footsteps of Jesus with Cardinal Seán and the Archdiocese's priests as an Easter retreat experience.

Subject: Company B – Equipment & Force Multiplication Assets
Release Classification: Public Transparency Advisory – Declassified Summary
Date of Release: 17 September 2061
Jurisdiction: All 23 DII Member States
_______________________________________________
Manufacturer: Corporação Dourada de Armamentos Avançados (CDAA)
Country of Origin: Terra Dourada
Assembly Date: March 27, 2053
Manufacturing Site: Carajás, Terra Dourada
Powertrain: Quad Brushless Hub-mounted E-motors w/ 50 kHw Solid State Battery pack
Auxiliary Generator: Ultrafire IC-75 Hydrogen Turbine
Max Output: 850 BHP
0–60 mph: 4.3 seconds
Top Speed: 140.00 MPH
>>>Following a three-year coordinated investigation conducted across all 23 Member States, the Department of International Investigations (DII) has concluded its primary probe into the private military contractor herein designated Company B.
The investigation produced approximately 32,000 compiled files addressing Company B’s structure, financing mechanisms, procurement networks, and documented violations of international humanitarian law. In the interest of public safety and multinational transparency, the Member Council has authorized full public release of the investigative dossier.
The following excerpt concerns a specific force-multiplication platform widely associated with Company B operations: a heavily modified light tactical vehicle derived from the XR16 “Jaguar” Light Assault Vehicle (LAV) originally developed by Corporação Dourada de Armamentos Avançados.
The DII assesses that the modified Jaguar platform materially increases Company B’s operational reach, lethality, and cross-terrain mobility within civilian environments.<<<
______________________________________________
1: Regional Context & Original Platform Development
In the aftermath of the assassination of Emperor Augusto De Primavera during the late 2040s civil conflict in the Republic of Cosecha, sustained instability produced cross-border security concerns throughout the region.
Neighboring country Terra Dourada initiated a defense modernization program, including activation of a Light Utility Vehicle (LUV) procurement initiative intended to standardize multirole tactical ground transport. The primary contender for the LUV program was Corporação Dourada de Armamentos Avançados (CDAA), a domestic defense manufacturer with established production capacity in heavy vehicles and rotary aircraft systems.
CDAA’s submission, the Type-XR16 LAV “Jaguar,” met or exceeded baseline requirements but was ultimately not adopted due to cost projections and logistical harmonization concerns tied to multinational standardization efforts.
The project was subsequently mothballed.
2: Company B Acquisition & Platform Escalation
Company B began operations in the late 2040s. Despite lacking identifiable predecessor entities, it demonstrated immediate access to advanced military-grade hardware and sustained capital resources.
Documented contracts show Company B providing services to, among other employers:
> High-risk private industrial clients
> Controversial multinational corporations,
> Governments of developing nations facing internal insurgency or civil unrest
Investigative findings further indicate Company B investment activity in robotics and advanced human replication technologies. The source of its manpower and financing remains under active inquiry.
In 2051, Company B entered into a procurement agreement with CDAA to revive the XR16 Jaguar platform for private military use.
3: Baseline Jaguar Technical Profile (Government Prototype)
Platform Classification: Light Tactical Utility Vehicle
Configuration: Modular 2 or 4-door
Powertrain: Quad in-wheel electric motors (160 HP each; total 640 HP)
Energy Source: 50 kWh solid-state battery system
Suspension: Motorsport-derived independent suspension; adjustable ride height to 20 inches
Steering: Four-wheel steering
Armor: Boron-silica carbide composite with aramid reinforcement
Top Speed: 120 MPH (electronically limited)
0–60 MPH: 6 seconds
Independent forensic analysis confirms that the Jaguar’s suspension geometry and chassis architecture exhibit lineage consistent with competitive off-road endurance racing platforms.
Technical analysis shows that the Jaguar was assembled with:
> Niobium-reinforced modular steel frame
> 36-inch kevlar-reinforced all-terrain run-flats with self-sealing functionality
> Ceramic composite armor wheel hubs to protect the hub-mounted motors
>Complete 4-wheel steering setup with low-speed "crabwalk" capability
> Adjustable motorsports-spec suspension setup consisting of 4 dampeners and 8 springs
This configuration provides:
> High-speed maneuverability across uneven terrain
> Debris traversal capability in urban unrest environments
> Exceptional turning radius (approximately 50% reduction compared to standard tactical vehicles)
Notably, the forward wheel placement allows limited vertical surface engagement when unimpeded by optional frontal attachments, such as bullbars or winches.
The modular nature of the Jaguar platform allowed it to fulfill multiple roles.
> Assault/scouting variant with a wide suite of rear-mounted weaponry
> Logistical variants with expanded cargo/passenger space
> Field support with onboard radar/comms equipment
4: Company B Variant – Enhanced “Scout/Pursuit” Configuration
Company B selected the shorter 2-door variant as its operational baseline and implemented substantial modifications, opting not to go with a larger variant since more logistical roles were covered by large APCs and VTOL
aircraft already in Company B's possession.
Powertrain & Mobility Enhancements:
> Upgraded quad in-wheel motors (210 HP each; total 840 HP)
> Auxiliary hydrogen-powered turbine generator supplied by Ultrafire Aeronautics
> Reinforced aerospace-grade titanium frame
> Increased top speed limit to 140 MPH
> 0–60 MPH reduced to approximately 4 seconds
The DII assesses that this performance envelope substantially exceeds requirements typical of convoy security or patrol roles.
5: Directed Energy Weapon Integration
Standard Company B Jaguar units are equipped with a rear-mounted heavy plasma-based direct energy system.
Preliminary technical cross-analysis suggests design parallels with developmental concepts associated with Photon Applied Sciences, Inc..
Observations:
> Autonomous targeting capability
> Remote secondary operator control
> Sustained-fire capacity via auxiliary turbine
Most national armed forces currently rely on laser-based systems for deployable directed energy applications. Plasma-based vehicular systems remain largely experimental within conventional military doctrine.
The DII assesses that Company B’s field deployment of such systems represents an alarming technological divergence from established state-level standards.
6: Armor & Sensor Integration
Company B replaced the Jaguar’s conventional armored plating with a full encapsulation system, giving their Jaguar a rather unique appearance with its total lack of cabin glass.
Armor and sensory enhancements:
> Titanium-boron composite armor plating
> Integrated magnetorheological (MR) fluid micro-layer shock absorption
> Exterior camera and sensor arrays
> Interior “soft-display” holographic projection system
> Head-tracking compensation to restore parallax perception
> Standard thermal and night vision overlays for covert operations
While providing significant survivability benefits, this system places measurable computational strain on onboard processing hardware in high-temperature environments. Modular fallback to aluminum oxynitride ballistic transparency panels for the passenger doors has been documented.
Simulated testing indicates resistance to most anti-material kinetic munitions.
7: Production & Transfer
50 units were assembled in early 2053 at CDAA’s facility located in Carajás, western Terra Dourada. These units were subsequently transported via unmarked heavy-lift aircraft from a local municipal airport to an undisclosed location.
The operational headquarters of Company B remains unidentified despite multinational investigative efforts. The only confirmed location operating under Company B's jurisdiction is a shell office located in Cosecha's capitol city of Mendoza.
The secrecy regarding Company B's operational headquarters is remarkable and cause for alarm, considering the sheer scale such a location would require due to Company B's numerous assets, from vehicles, to mercenaries, and other needed equipment.
The overall cost of each Jaguar is not known due to the confidentiality of CDAA and Company B's contract
alongside the general secrecy of Company B's internal workings, but the prototype Jaguar presented to the Terra Douradan Government had an estimated unit cost
starting at roughly $330,000 before accounting for other variants and weapons/armor systems. Accounting for the advanced upgrades fitted by Company B, just a single unit of their Jaguars has been estimated to easily exceed $1,500,000
per unit before operating costs, setting the initial final contract at well over $50,000,000
8: Documented Operational Incidents
Due to it's widely-recorded usage at numerous operational incidents directly involving Company B, their Jaguar has since become a public symbol of the PMC's notoriety. Such incidents include but are not limited to:
Nastlin Corporate Security Deployment
During civil unrest connected to resource allocation disputes involving the Nastlin Corporation, Jaguar units were deployed in perimeter enforcement roles.
Documented evidence includes:
> Aggressive vehicular dispersal tactics
> Ramming of accredited press vehicles and subsequent assault of reporters
> Coordination with ground personnel engaged in mass detentions and assaults against protestors (up to 50 injured in unprovoked clashes)
Kinyetz Embassy Massacre (Republic of Wymarcie)
The most severe recorded use of the Jaguar platform occurred in the capital city of Kinyetz within the Republic of Wymarcie, when the PMC was providing security services for the government of the Republic of Wymarcie.
14 Jaguar units responded to reports of insurgent breach activity near the Ruthenan Embassy compound. Subsequent investigation determined the individuals present were unarmed refugees seeking asylum.
5 lead vehicles discharged plasma weapon systems into the assembled civilians.
Confirmed Fatalities:
> 42 Ruthenan refugees (12 children)
> 27 civilian bystanders (3 children)
Thermal damage patterns were consistent with high-output plasma discharge. Witness reports disturbingly state that some victims exploded into superheated biomass on contact with plasma fire.
While evidence indicates Company B executed the engagement autonomously, tangential findings suggest potential directive authorization from Wymarcian authorities. This aspect remains under review.
This incident materially escalated regional hostilities and preceded the Wymarcie–Ruthena war. Company B later acted in this conflict under Wymarcie's employment and subsequently committed further war crimes against the people of Ruthena.
9: Sanctions & Ongoing Concerns
Due to the extensive financial shielding mechanisms employed by Company B, including multilayered asset protection structures and jurisdictionally distributed holdings, enforcement actions targeting the organization directly have thus far yielded limited measurable impact.
Consequently, Member States have primarily pursued sanctions and punitive measures against contracting entities found to have engaged Company B’s services, resulting in significant economic and political repercussions for those parties.
Sanctions imposed by DII Member States resulted in:
> Severe economic destabilization within Wymarcie, proving integral to their defeat in the Wymarcie-Ruthena war
> Extreme financial losses and Corporate restructuring of Nastlin Corporation
> Sanctions against CDAA for aiding and abetting material support
Despite public statements from CDAA claiming termination of relations with Company B immediately after the Jaguar contract, investigative imagery obtained in 2054 indicates a Company B-spec Jaguar unit within CDAA’s Carajás facility.
CDAA denies ongoing collaboration, stating this Jaguar was a leftover unit not paid for by Company B. Financial reporting shows sustained profitability post-sanctions.
10: Risk Assessment & Public Advisory
The DII assesses that the Company B Jaguar platform presents elevated concern due to:
> High-speed maneuverability in dense civilian zones
> Directed energy lethality exceeding conventional warfare doctrine
> Autonomous targeting integration
> Modular scalability
> Unidentified production continuation risk
The combination of pursuit-grade mobility and battlefield-grade lethality represents a force multiplier disproportionate to standard private security requirements.
Member State agencies are advised to:
> Monitor imports of high-capacity solid-state battery systems compatible with XR16 chassis architecture
> Flag procurement of hydrogen micro-turbine generators consistent with Ultrafire Aeronautics specifications
> Report sightings of fully encapsulated windowless tactical vehicles exhibiting multi-spectrum sensor arrays
Civilian reporting channels remain open under Directive 11.7.
Concluding Statement
The XR16 LAV Jaguar platform has become emblematic of Company B’s operational doctrine: speed, technological escalation, and overwhelming force projection in civilian-adjacent environments.
While the base XR16 chassis originated as a conventional light utility vehicle, its modified iteration demonstrates how rapidly private-sector militarization can exceed established international norms.
Further investigative updates will be issued as warranted.

CAESAREA PHILIPPI (April 10, 2013) - Fr. Michael Harrington, Fr. Dan Hennessey, and Fr. Israel Rodriguez sit by the stream that will become the Jordan River.
The pilgrims visited the ancient source of the Jordan River at a pagan temple to Pan near Caesarea Philippi. This was the location where Jesus said to St. Peter that he would be the rock on which Christ would build His Church.
Cardinal Seán and a group of 29 priests of the Archdiocese of Boston have traveled on an Easter pilgrimage to the Holy Land this week, and they're bringing the readers of TheGoodCatholicLife.com blog along with them.
On the third day of their pilgrimage, the group celebrated Mass at the Church of the Beatitudes; took a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee; visited Capernaum, where Jesus began his ministry; went to Caesarea Philippi, where Jesus named Peter the rock on which he would build His Church; went to the Church of the Multiplication of Loaves and Fishes; and more.

GPL is not always standing for GNU General Public License... as seen on a flower label. It's a company doing "plant novelty rights" called GPL international (http://www.gpl.dk/). Clearly the opposite direction compared to the freedom defined in the free software license (called GNU General Public License).
By the way if those osteospermum flowers are not F1 hybrid we will be able to keep the seeds and copy (doing multiplication) of the plant... It's the right to nature to reproduce itself. First time I see a company trying to disallow the multiplication...
TABGHA, ISRAEL (April 10, 2013) - The Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes, along the shore of the Sea of Galilee. This church also contains a rock called "table of the Lord" and is likely where he dined during the miracle. The mosaics on the floor date to the 5th century.

Calculating by rods
John Napier is famous for his invention of logorithms but he also devised a much simpler system of calculation. By arranging 'times tables' onto strips or rods he eased multiplication and division for those with little or no mathematical training. Portable pocket sets became popular and were made in many formats and materials. The use of ivory [2] led to the nickname 'Napier's bones'. Napier's rods were incorporated into larger arithmetical instruments [5] and were also a model for more specialist devices [6] is used for multiplying large numbers.

the church with a mouthful of a name is located in the place called tabgha on the shores of the sea of galillee. it's also called the "church of the multiplication" because that's a lot easier to say.
another bad blurry shot. but it's supposed to show the 5th century byzantine mosaic on the floor showing (surprise!) a loaf and a pair of fish.
and yes, the church is supposedly on the spot where jesus supposedly did his multiplication trick.
