200605.27 Mount Sinai. Inscription on Mount Sinai. Sunrise at Mount Sinai. Pilgrims and tourists at Mount Sinai. Under the golden light, the scenery of Mount Sinai and its surrounding was spectacular, arid, rocky, without a single tree in front of the horizon. This is the legendary spot where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God. At around 06:15 we began the 2-hour descend to St. Catherine's Monastery. Monday, November 29, 2010.

Road to Caravanserai: 2006.05.29_Hanging Church
http://calvinkarfungchiu.blogspot.com/2010/12/20060529hanging-church.html
200605.29 Hanging Church. Probably the most beautiful and famous church in Coptic Cairo, the Hanging Church is also one of the oldest. Although much of what we see today of the church's exterior is from the 19th century, many of the interior elements, including over 100 of Christian icons, actually date back to various periods in history. The church was built above a gatehouse of Babylon Fortress, the ancient fortress city in Cairo. Monday, December 20, 2010. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
