Life is a portrait of feelings, a colorful burst of emotions, be it extroverted, introverted, outlandish, or disconcerted, the picture is cruelly revealling.... The artists lays bare, what his mind is afraid of, or glad of, or scared of, or just overjoyed of, but never, no never, devoid of emotion.... Great splashes of color, that free inhibition, defy all tradition, rebel after freedom, pure innocence, muted in pastels of blue, a wish for simplicity, pleading for honesty, truth.... Others, more technical. Striving for system, organized cubism, abstracted monstrosities, inventing delusions, of grandeur, frustration, sufficiently confusing, a vast population, to believe is inspired revelation.

A view of Nabataeans City of Petra, Jordan The story of the Nabataeans is a fascinating and integral part of the Petra story. At its height, in the century or so prior to and after the birth of Christ, the Nabataean empire included parts of Jordan, Israel, Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia. And the seat of the Kingdom was Petra, a city that the Nabataeans literally carved by hand from the rose-red cliffs of what is now southern Jordan (just north of Saudi Arabia and just west of Iraq).
