Shot this pano while having a day out enjoying the beautiful weather of April 2009.
This year we had a nice rainfall so I decided to capture part of the green landscape at Habaka hills. Parts of Irbid city, Edoun, Al-Husun, Al-Sareeh, even Al-Ramtha and JUST can bee seen from this spot. حبكا ، المنطقة المطلة على الحصن Shots: 83 Date: 10 April 2009 17:34:46 Camera: Canon DIGITAL IXUS 900Ti Tripod: SLIK Master Classic |

As you enter the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, the "Treasury" (seen in Indiana Jones and the last Crusade) is the striking first sight. It was probably a temple, not a treasury, but it is striking, carved directly from the rock. |
