I found a road in Paris Canyon, Idaho that I didn't know existed until now. It climbed a big hill and this was the view from the top.
شفت الغلا
والزين والشين
شفت القلوب الحاقده
والحبايب
واللي يعيش بوجه
واللي بوجهين
تلقا الجفا والصد طبع
القرايب
و الوصل والطيب
طبع البعيد

Sukkoth (Hebrew: סוכות or סֻכּוֹת ), Feast of Booths, Feast of Tabernacles, is a biblical Jewish holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the month of Tishri.
The holiday lasts seven days in Israel and eight in the diaspora. The first day is a Shabbat-like holiday, when work is forbidden, followed by intermediate days called Chol Hamoed.
The Hebrew word sukkōth is the plural of sukkah, "booth" or "tabernacle", which is a walled structure, covered with leaves of palm and willow. The sukkah is intended as a reminiscence of the type of fragile dwellings in which, according to the Torah, the Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of travel in the desert, after the Exodus from slavery in Egypt.
Throughout the holiday, meals are eaten inside the sukkah and many people sleep there as well. A sukkah is also for the temporary dwelling in which agricultural workers would live during harvesting.
The festival is closed with another Shabbat-like holiday called Simchat Torah, The Joy of the Torah, that takes place in synagogue.This is the only time of year on which the Torah scrolls are taken out of the Ark. Then, when the Ark is opened, the worshippers leave their seats to dance and sing with the Torah scrolls in a joyous celebration that can last for several hours.
More from my archives since we can't travel...memories are fun to revisit.
The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone is the most breathtaking sight inside Yellowstone National Park. Twenty miles long, the canyon is up to 4,000-feet wide and 1,200-feet deep in places. It's located on the eastern side of the park. From several vantage points, you can view Lower Falls plunging steeply into the canyon 308 feet, or the Upper Falls tumbling 109 feet.
At 308 feet, the Lower Falls is the tallest waterfall in the park. In terms of height alone, it’s more than twice the size of Niagara Falls per Yellowstone National Park Service.
A wealth of gratitude to everyone for your warm visit, comments, faves and invitations. Truly appreciate it!

Have a lovely day!
Uxmal bezeichnet die Ruinen einer ehemals großen und kulturell bedeutenden Stadt der Maya in Mexiko. Der Name Uxmal kommt möglicherweise von „ox-mal“, was in der yukatekischen Mayasprache „dreimal“ bedeutet. Die Ruinenstadt liegt in der leicht welligen Karstlandschaft Puuc auf der Halbinsel Yucatán im gleichnamigen mexikanischen Bundesstaat, etwa 80 Kilometer südlich von Mérida.
Die Stadt erlebte ihre Hochblüte am Ende des Späten Klassikums im 9. und frühen 10. Jahrhundert n. Chr., wurde aber bereits ein bis zwei Jahrhunderte später völlig verlassen. Die Bauten werden von der „Pyramide des Zauberers“ überragt, die wie die meisten Gebäude in Uxmal während der Besiedlung der Stadt immer wieder umgebaut und erweitert wurde.
Uxmal is an ancient Maya city of the classical period located in present-day Mexico. It is considered one of the most important archaeological sites of Maya culture, along with Palenque, Chichén, and Calakmul in Mexico, Caracol and Xunantunich in Belize, and Tikal in Guatemala. It is located in the Puuc region of the eastern Yucatan Peninsula, and is considered one of the Maya cities most representative of the region's dominant architectural style. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in recognition of its significance.
