The Temple Mount, known in Judaism as Har haBáyit and in Arabic as the Haram al-Sharif , is one of the most important religious sites in the Old City of Jerusalem. It has been used as a religious site for thousands of years. At least four religions are known to have used the Temple Mount: Judaism, Christianity, Roman religion, and Islam.
Judaism regards the Temple Mount as the place where God chose the Divine Presence to rest (Isa 8:18); according to the rabbinic sages whose debates produced the Talmud, it was from here the world expanded into its present form and where God gathered the dust used to create the first man, Adam. The site is the location of Abraham's binding of Isaac, and of two Jewish Temples. According to the Bible the site should function as the center of all national life—a governmental, judicial and, of course, religious center (Deut 12:5-26; 14:23-25; 15:20; 16:2-16; 17:8-10; 26: 2; 31: 11; Isa 2: 2-5; Oba 1:21; Psa 48). During the Second Temple Period it functioned also as an economical center. From that location the word of God will come out to all nations, and that is the site where all prayers are focused. According to Jewish tradition and scripture (2 Chronicles 3:1-2), the first temple was built by Solomon the son of David in 957 BCE and destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The second was constructed under the auspices of Zerubbabel in 516 BCE and destroyed by the Roman Empire in 70 CE. Jewish tradition maintains it is here the Third and final Temple will also be built. The location is the holiest site in Judaism and is the place Jews turn towards during prayer. Among Sunni Muslims, the Mount is widely considered the third holiest site in Islam. Revered as the Noble Sanctuary (Bait-ul-Muqaddas) and the location of Muhammad's journey to Jerusalem and ascent to heaven, the site is also associated with Jewish biblical prophets who are also venerated in Islam. After the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in 637 CE, Umayyad Caliphs commissioned the construction of the al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the Rock on the site. The Dome was completed in 692 CE, making it one of the oldest extant Islamic structures in the world, after the Kaabah. The Al Aqsa Mosque rests on the far southern side of the Mount, facing Mecca. The Dome of the Rock currently sits in the middle, occupying or close to the area where the Bible mandates the Holy Temple be rebuilt.

This little package was hiding behind the Wibbage tumblers. There was only two pads left in it. Both were exactly the same.
I have no idea what these were used for or how old they are.
The summit of Mount Mitchell was under the thinnest of cloud layers this morning.
Fun fact! Professor Mitchell, after whom the mountain is named, is entombed at the summit. A little bit of his tomb can be seen in front of the observation deck and to the left of the sign.
Highly recommended place. Near Tokyo, nature, lot of temples, interesting spots and beautiful landscapes. Even on a lucky day you can also see Mount Fuji!

Mount Moriah at the Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington, DC on March 11th, 2016. Photos taken for ChunkyGlasses www.chunkyglasses.com.

I think I had the camera set on the Pop mode, one of the new features from the recent firmware update for the Sony SLT's
(or it could have been the retro setting since there is the vignette shadow along the corners.)
This was cropped on the right hand side for a more pleasing balance.
Seen from a point near Mount Herbert's summit.
Kaitorete Spit is visible at the extreme left of the shot.
Continuing my long tradition of never seeing the mountain in person without at least some cloud cover obscuring the mountain (though this is the least amount of cloud yet).

Taken during a visit to the Mount Emei area near Chengdu in China in December 2013.
These particular photos were taken from my arrival at the Mount Emei Scenic Area, on the climb up to the "Golden Summit" area by foot and cable car, and the descent back down again, including all those crazy tibetan macaques which just love to grab goodies from the passing tourists.
