The Citadel in silhouette, Amman, Jordan.
The Temple of Hercules overlooks the city of Amman. The Citadel's museum houses fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, among other rare antiquities.

Looking at the architecture, I'm always amazed at how far the Roman Empire spread its wings! The Dead Sea Scrolls are impressive and beautiful! Keep blogging!

Very interesting photos. Looking at the architecture, I'm always amazed at how far the Roman Empire spread its wings (under strong Greek influence of course...).

To me this is a dream that I have yet to realize. The middle east draws me like a magnet. Your images are gorgeous. I am still stunned at the pictures you posted of Jordana in that necklace and head piece.

MAWB, thank you! Actually I have lived in Amman in this life, for quite some time. I love Jordan. Breathtakingly-beautiful country, with kind people.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are impressive and beautiful! I'm stunned how clear they still are, considering their age. Love the last photo - such a sweet face.
