Second Round of the 2019 Halifax Pro-Am at the Oakfield Golf & Country Club in Enfield, Nova Scotia, Canada - July 19st, 2019.
Exploring Second Life again with my beloved partner and she took me to a stunningly beautiful sim called Crimarizon. This place has to be seen, these photos do not do it justice! An awful lot of work has gone into this place, and the result is one of the most beautiful sims in Second Life (in my humble opinion).
Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal after Lisbon and one of the major urban areas of the Iberian Peninsula.
Located along the Douro river estuary in Northern Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest European centres, and its historical core was proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996.
Porto is a fascinating and vibrant city that is rapidly becoming one of Western Europe's most respected tourist destinations.
January 10, 2019 - This model of Jerusalem as it looked during the Second Temple period was originally located on the grounds of the Holyland Hotel and it was relocated to the Israel Museum in 2006 when it was also updated for inaccuracies.
"The Second Temple Jerusalem Model recreates the city of 66 CE at the height of its glory; the eve of the great revolt of the Jews against the Romans. The city then stretched over some 450 acres.
The model, measuring some 1,000 square meters, was created by Professor Avi-Yonah, a leading scholar specializing in ancient Jerusalem. Avi-Yona's reconstruction is based on descriptions from Jewish sources, particularly the Mishnah, and the writings of the contemporary historian Flavius Josephus. He also relied on archaeological finds from Jerusalem and from other Roman cities.
At the heart of this impressive city stands the Temple Mount. Kings who built the city, notably the Hasmoneans and their successors, and King Herod and his descendants, were greatly influenced by the Greco-Roman culture. This is clearly reflected in the style of the buildings, and in the layout of the streets; in the holy precinct at the top of the hill; the public water facilities, and other dedicatory monumental buildings as well as in the sports and entertainment facilities.
A closer look reveals the uniquely Jewish character of Jerusalem. First, there is only one sacred precinct - the Temple Mount - with a single temple, to one God. Second, the city has no sculptures, or reliefs depicting human figures and animals, in accordance with the second of the Ten Commandment: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
The magnificence of the city as it replicated in the model did not last for long. In 66 CE the Great Revolt against the Romans broke out, and in 70 CE, after five years of fighting, the city was destroyed and the Temple burnt down."
