|  | Jordan - view of the Sea of Galilee | From the area of Umm Quais, you can walk to the edge of the Roman ruins and see the Sea of Galilee, which is often shrouded with a hazy covering. In the foreground is the remains of what is considered an ancient Christian church. |

|  | Umm Quais, Jordan - Mushroom Clouds | I was travelling through the northwestern section of Jordan near the Israeli border when three mushroom shaped cloud formations stared to appear over the Israeli sky. Ezekiel 38 & 39 came to mind with its decription of an epic battle yet to come. |
|  | Greece - the bread vendor | If you visit Athens you are sure to see lots of street performers, music boxes on wheels, and push cart food vendors.

|  | Greece - peak of the Acro Corinth (fortress on a hill) | Corinth remains a small, functional city, boasting of its unique ruins dating back to the days of St. Paul's time. Above the ancient city stands a large fortress on an imposing hill, overlooking the Peloponnese in the distance. |

|  | The Albuquerque Balloon Festival - Balloon touchdown | What's almost as fun as listening to the whirling of fans and hot air burners roaring? Chasing the balloons through the Albuquerque outskirts as they touch down and begin the cycle of gently deflating. |
