Jerash is the capital and the largest city of Jerash Governorate, Jordan, with a population of 50,745 as of 2015. Located 48 kilometres (30 mi) north of the capital of Jordan, Amman.
The history of the city is a blend of the Greco-Roman world of the Mediterranean Basin and the ancient traditions of the Arab Orient. The name of the city reflects this interaction. The earliest Arab/Semitic inhabitants, who lived in the area during the pre-classical period of the 1st millennium BCE, named their village Garshu. The Romans later Hellenized the former Arabic name of Garshu into Gerasa. Later, the name transformed into the Arabic Jerash.
The city flourished until the mid-eighth century CE, when the 749 Galilee earthquake destroyed large parts of it, while subsequent earthquakes (847 Damascus earthquake) contributed to additional destruction. However, In the early 12th century, by the year 1120, Zahir ad-Din Toghtekin, atabeg of Damascus ordered a garrison of forty men stationed in Jerash to convert the Temple of Artemis into a fortress. It was captured in 1121 by Baldwin II, King of Jerusalem, and utterly destroyed.
Jerash was then deserted until it reappeared in the Ottoman tax registers in the 16th century. It had a population of 12 households in 1596. However, the archaeologists have found a small Mamluk hamlet in the Northwest Quarter which indicates that Jerash was resettled before the Ottoman era. The excavations conducted since 2011 have shed light on the Middle Islamic period as recent discoveries have uncovered a large concentration of Middle Islamic/Mamluk structures and pottery.
In 1806, the German traveler, Ulrich Jasper Seetzen, came across and wrote about the ruins he recognized. In 1885, the Ottoman authorities directed the Circassian immigrants who were mainly of peasant stock to settle in Jerash, and distributed arable land among them.
The ancient city has been gradually revealed through a series of excavations which commenced in 1925, and continue to this day.
Gracie is the cutest little thing!

The spotted hyena is the most social of the Carnivora in that it has the largest group sizes and most complex social behaviors. Its social organization is unlike that of any other carnivore, bearing closer resemblance to that of cercopithecine primates (baboons and macaques) with respect to group-size, hierarchical structure, and frequency of social interaction among both kin and unrelated groupmates.
Cubs are born with soft, brownish black hair, and weigh 1.5 kg on average. Unique among carnivorous mammals, spotted hyenas are also born with their eyes open and with 6–7 mm long canine teeth and 4 mm long incisors. Also, cubs will attack each other shortly after birth. This is particularly apparent in same sexed litters and can result in the death of the weaker cub. – Wikipedia
Tourists and locals:
It can be all too easy to go from tourist to victim.
Take care, be sensible and don't advertise wealth. Not advertising wealth may seem odd to some of us, but remember there are many who can't even dream of a foreign holiday.
Organised gangs operate in some areas; so don't wear that new "Rolex" for a stroll down the "wild side of town".
At the point of life threatening conflict, just give them what they want. They assume you are covered by holiday insurance and you probably are (medical cover may be no consolation if you end up in a hospital bed for your holiday).

She returns when she's ready and sits and watches. She waits for contact and interaction on her conditions and terms. She tells me when she is ready and that I am to follow her lead. When you're wild....caution controls your life. So I have called her Caution.
Before you say it, no I did not copy off of TheMoosefigs, I took this photo around 8 hours ago and planned to do a thoughts picture after I saw the movie a second time, and that was 3 hours ago.
Honesty I don't know why I should be talking about that
Guardians Vol 2, wow is was really good. So I might to think it over, but this may be my favorite MCU film (not favorite Marvel film, Spiderman 2 is like a masterpiece). This movie had everything, a nice plot, great humor, great soundtrack, and great characterization. This is more of "character" film than the big budget sequel that most sequels aim for. We get to learn a lot about these characters and their relationship with one another. Quill has some problems with his dad, and Gamora, Gamora and Nebula have some complications, Drax talks a little more about his past, and Yondu talks a lot more about his past and his past eight the ravagers, Rocket and Groot....we're there really for comedic purposes. Speaking of which, I laughed like crazy in this film, even seeing it a second time I was laughing a ton.
So I want to talk about the villain which (Imo) the best mcu villain ever.
also SPOILERS
Ego was really well developed, he had a great Interaction with quill that really stands out against pad much villains. The twist with ego killing quill's mom made for a great purpose for quill to stop him. Also I love Kurt Russell
The films pacing, I do admit, does have a little struggle near the end with them about to destroy ego, and the gold people were really just...there. Saying that, the humor really carried the film and made it really enjoyable. And Yondu's death felt really sad and I actually cried. (I wasn't bawling like I was in Toy Story 3, but a couple tears were shed) And the ravagers coming to his funeral really completed Yondu's arc.
This movie was a complete blast and I highly recommend it.

My original title was : "Dark-eyed Junco, Cassiar or Slate-colored?" After interaction with Melissa(birdergirl) I have changed the titled and dropped any reference to Cassiar and Slate-colored.
After reading a paper that describes the Cassiar Junco I went to the Yakima Arboretum Sparrow Patch blind and photographed juncos yesterday. I photographed definite Oregon Dark-eyed Juncos, and either Cassiar or Slate-colored or both. Even after reading a concise description I am not positive.
For those two or three people in the world who might see my photos and care here is a paper with a description of the Cassiar Junco compared to Oregon and Slate-colored:
I doesn't appear that Flickr will allow me to copy the link. A google search for "The Junco Called Cassiar by Rick Wright" will get you to an abstract of that paper.
Thanks to Melissa Hafting (birdergirl here at flickr) for passing this publication on to me.
However, the question remains, did I photograph Cassiar, Oregon, and Slate-colored or just Oregon and Slate-colored?
Comments/opinions are welcome.
I saw 2 Slate-colored/Cassiar and perhaps 30 Oregon Dark-eyed Juncos while taking the 6 photos that I am uploading now.
IMG-9597 and 9594 are of the same bird and IMG-9525 and IMG 9498 are the same bird. I threw in a couple of definite Oregon Dark-eyed Junco photos.

Auf der Austellung: "The Concept of Lines" in den Deichtorhallen in Hamburg - Haus der Photographie. Eine sehr interessante und sehenswerte Ausstellung, die eigene Sichtweisen erweitern kann.
A rufous depending his perch against an oncoming rufous. (It's tough to get more than one bird in focus with such shallow DoF but I still like this interaction photo.)
I have always been fascinated by tracks in the sand.
This set was just too good to miss, with the phylosophic symbolism of complex interaction of all things and people- LITTLE AND LARGE.

Yellowstone is one of the few places where the natural behavior of coyotes has not been influenced by either trapping or predator control programs. Here, a unique opportunity exists for biologists to document the social behavior of coyotes and their interactions with prey and other predators such as bears, wolves and mountain lions.
Besides the rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri) this bigger but similar species of parakeets has become resident in Cologne for some years now. Their numbers seem to increase and they can be found in parks and cemetries quiet easy.
The latest in my ongoing project when I ask someone previously unknown to me for permission to take a street portrait of them.
I was having a morning coffee on my dog walk when Ruby sat down at next table and we started a conversation about dogs before moving on to other subjects.
She's a very interesting and interested conversationalist. She's moving off island soon, back to the UK.
I find these brief interactions with new people interesting and find it helps to reinforce my belief that we are all 'good people' at heart.
Best wishes for the next stage of your journey, Ruby.
