Nella parte inferiore della prospiciente montagna del Sacrificio ,c'è il teatro Nabateo capace di 7000 persone che è orientato verso est per trarre maggior beneficio dalla luce mattutina . Molte cappelle furono demolite per la sua realizzazione . Il teatro fu realizzato per celebrazioni comprese quelle religiose ,l'altare fu scoperto al centro del Teatro .Il Teatro fu ampliato dai Romani dopo la presa di Traiano . I Nabatei scolpirono la roccia ,mentre i Romani costruirono con blocchi di pietra .Questo è l'unico teatro scolpito nella Pietra .

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.

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!
(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

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!
First image in a while, going back through my albums to this one a couple years ago when i visited on of the 7 Wonders of the World, Petra in Jordan. An amazing place!

I don't do many of these, but how could I resist a pile up on the talented Jordan!

I thought that I would post one or two pictures from Jordan since this small Arab country is now playing center stage in the news of the day. The pictures are from a trip I made about 5 years ago.
This is the first view one has of Petra after following the long path from the hotels to the ancient UNESCO World heritage Site. The opening is the siq and the building is the Treasury. To see this mysterious view is a memory that will always be etched in my mind.
The gorgeous pink/coral/red sandstone caravan city dates back to the 6th century BC. Goods such as Arabian frankincense, Chinese silk and Indian spices were traded in this remarkable city that sits between the Dead Sea and the Red Sea. Its magic continues to mesmerize people today as the sandstone rock changes colors through out the day.

Early Morning on Jordan Pond.
The sun is just beginning to rise over a placid Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park on a beautiful cool morning. The fall colors are giving one last gasp of color before changing over for the season. At the far end of the pond the Bubbles can be seen overlooking the oligotrophic tarn. Oligotrophic tarn is the classification given to Jordan Pond due to its lack of nutrients for aquatic life, as well as its deep, crystal clear, waters. Jordan Pond is one of the iconic Acadia National Park views. The Bubbles have been photographed over and over again from this locale. It's not hard to see why this spot is so beloved in the park. The mountain peaks of Pemetic to the right, and Penobscot to the left, provide a natural frame to the North and South Bubbles at the head of the pond. Jordan Pond is a distinct feature in Acadia, and well worth photographing. The prior evening we hiked the Bubbles for sunset, and I can't wait to share those photos soon.
Thanks for looking and enjoy!
