  2. He looks quite studious!

    I find it fascinating that there's such a power play sort of atmosphere between the denominations that jockey for position in that church. I wrote a sequence set inside there.

  4. I like this picture very much. The older man learning from his book. The young boy learning from the building itself. Both good ways to learn.

  5. Such an interesting photo! I hope ABC-ers will follow up on the story and history behind this photo. So much most of us don't know about the history of the Middle East.
