Benton & Jerry,

You've given me a lot of help and advice here.

I can see that I've got a lot of work ahead.  I'll have to get my team to help me.

Mind you, out of seven, only one seems to be into gardening.

I'll print it all off for reference and to show my hubby.  Perhaps I can add a bit of gardening to his list of things to do!

Gentlemen,


for taking the time to advise me.

Blessings,

Sarah

Peter,

Welcome.

That will be great.

I visited Haifa many moons ago when I was on a Mediterranean cruise with the school.

I have to admit that I don't actually remember much of it as it was a fleeting visit.

I look forward to your pics.

Blessings,
Sarah


This is a quaint English garden.  I love to see thatched cottages with country gardens.

Hi Sarah,

I looked through my pictures and couldn't find the disk with the Bahai pictures so I decided to download some from the internet. But here's a short explanation about the Bahai Gardens.

The Terraces of the Bahá'í Faith are garden terraces that form nine above and nine below the Shrine of the Báb on Mount Carmel within Haifa, Israel. Also known as the Hanging Gardens of Haifa and described as the Eighth Wonder of the World, they are one of the most visited tourist attractions in Israel. The architect is Fariborz Sahba from Iran (now lives in Canada).

The terraces represent the first eighteen disciples of the Báb, who were designated "Letter of the Living" (info.bahai.org), although individual terraces are connected with individual Letters.

Nine concentric circles thus provide the main geometry of the eighteen terraces. Just as the identification of a circle presupposes a centre, so the terraces have been conceived as generated from the Shrine of the Báb. The eighteen terraces plus the one terrace of the Shrine of the Báb make nineteen terraces total. Nineteen is a significant number within both the Bahá'í and Bábí religions.

Hi Sarah,

For some reason they cut the pics almost in half. I'll try again tomorrow since it's almost 2 am here and I NEED to get some shut eye.

Good night & Shalom,

Peter

Peter,

Thanks for your efforts.

I've only got the first pic showing up, but it is beautiful.

I can see why there are so many visitors.

Hope you slept well and are being strict with yourself, as we discussed in Bogdan's forum.  Not easy is it?

I was talking about time management, but I could have been talking about graphics that have a will of their own!!!!

Blessings,

Sarah
