From the web site:
Purpose of HolyLandPhotos.org
The purpose of HolyLandPhotos.org is to make images from the lands of
the Bible available free to the general public. Our emphasis is upon
the images. The text accompanying the image is meant to be helpful in
identifying what one is looking at in the image and to comment briefly
about the significance of the image, but the text is not intended to be
exhaustive. The interested person should pursue avenues of interest in
relevant dictionaries and encyclopedias.
The site has been conceived, developed, and maintained on a volunteer
basis by Dr. Carl Rasmussen and Jesse Gavin (see below). Carl Rasmussen
provides all photos unless otherwise noted.
Please note — this is a GROWING site. Images are being added to it weekly.
