Historic Roman aquaduct, along the Mediterranean coast, present state of Israel.

“All of life is a journey
which paths we take,
what we look back on,
and what we look forward to is up to us.
We determine our destination,
what kind of road we will take to get there,
and how happy we are when we get there.” (source unknown)

What an amazing sight. To think how old this is and the technology of the time, it is a pretty incredible feat indeed. Great shot. Excellent composition here.

It amazes me that it has stood for this long. It's beautiful! Built without modern technology!

How wondrous is that? They sure built things to last.

And yes, life is indeed a journey, sometimes a quest, and it comes to us one day at a time. This is the day The Lord has given us, let us rejoice in it."

This is wonderful in B 'n W ... I love the way the shadows flow through the arches.

Thank you, thank you for the memories this photo carries with it. We saw this a dozen years ago, but like so many other places in Israel, the memories are indelibly engraved!

Prayers for Bella ... and a request for some for our Belle; she's coughing and not quite right, but still has a cold, wet nose. We're watching her carefully.

Poor possum. Funny story. The Roman aquaduct is such a beautiful historic picture.

Great shot - works so well in b&w and I really like the diagonal angle made by the aqueduct as it retreats into the distance. How cool to see such a sight!!
