We too Gaby. It is fortunate that the greater part of the Roman empire included dry climate regions, otherwise almost nothing would have survived the tooth of time!
I do not think that they started with the restoration of this temple yet Simon. We saw only one temple in Bosra where they had started, but after 9/11 the money from abroad stopped and so the restoration work too.
Thanks for the many nice comments Beus.
Yes, I choose the pictures for FT randomly from a file where I store the photos I have scanned from negatives or photos I have just taken. My only criterion is, do I like a particular photo at that particular moment!
