Rugged Terrain

These are the mountains along the Babel Wad road that leads into Jerusalem.

Jezreel Valley

This was taken from on top Mt. Carmel. It is seven or eight photos merged together.

Back from Sabbatical

As most of you already know, my parents and I went to Israel earlier this summer. June 14-28. Since our return I have been very busy working several part-time jobs and photo editing/organizing. I took 3800 pictures, not counting the ones a deleted in camera on our trip. I am now in the final stages of post-production and am going to try to post a copious amount of pictures before I leave for school in a couple of weeks.

God's creations,

"The madness.. it is coming over us..."

Here is my bracket:


My final four picks: Duke, UCLA, UConn, and Boston College.

Duke: Although they haven't been playing well of late, they got the number one overall seed, and the easiest bracket to go with it.

UCLA: Coming off a Pac-ten championship, they are peaking at the right time. They play great defense, key for a deep tourney run.

UConn: Probably the most talented team in the country. Have problems with boredom sometimes, but that won't be a factor in the tournament.

Boston College: Won 11 of their last 12 before losing to Duke by two in the ACC championship game. Tough, physical team with one of the best inside players in the country, Craig Smith.

Well, that is my best ESPN style summary.

In reality nobody knows what is going to happen.
