Amazing Photos

The Greek Orthodox Saint George Monastery in Wadi Qelt, near the West Bank town of Jericho. The sixth-century cliffside complex, with its ancient chapel and gardens, is active and inhabited by Greek Orthodox monks.

Ok, so these aren't amazing pics, but a few pics of amazingly cool art...& no I'm not affiliated in any way, just think these are cool. Walla Walla Guitar Co. out of Washington; I secretly LOVE Tele's, & stumbled across their work a few months ago. Examples of laser-etching, acrylic-top, & use of old packing crates.

Similar to this month's guitar on my Fender Custom Shop calendar: the 30th Anniversary Prestige Esquire.
"Jason Smith's 30th Anniversary Esquire pays homage to three legendary founding Master Builders of the Custom Shop. Created with a three-piece reclaimed roasted pine body wood, similar to a run of black painted pine body Esquire guitars by Fred Stuart, Jason focused on high functionality and playability to make this a player's "number one guitar". The guitar's Relic treatment was inspired by weathered buildings of long-deserted western mining towns. The overall western theme flows throughout with shotgun-shell knobs, .30 caliber switch tip, and the rustic weathered "30" on the front nodding to western-themed art guitars once created by founding Master Builders Alan Hamel and Fred Stuart."

People walk past tombstones in a cemetery near residential buildings during the Ching Ming Festival, or Grave Sweeping Day, in Hong Kong on April 5, 2019. Visiting the graves of ancestors during Ching Ming is a Chinese tradition dating back 2,000 years to the Han dynasty, with families paying their respects by cleaning the graves, presenting offerings of food, and burning joss paper.
