Free Download Jerusalem Images

Since I leave for Chile tomorrow evening, I wanted to take a little time to post a few of the many photos that I took during my days in Jerusalem. The key words in the previous sentence are "a little time," as the demands of packing and the sort of last-minute details that precede foreign travel mean I won't be able to provide much in the way of text to accompany the images. I'll offer a few words of introduction for each set, but otherwise the photos will have to speak for themselves.

This first batch of photos pertains to the house where I made my retreat: the Jerusalem residence of the Pontifical Biblical Institute. Though a few Jesuits live and work full-time at the PBI in Jerusalem, the main purpose of the house is to provide lodging for visiting scholars and others who are connected with either the PBI in Rome or the Society of Jesus in general and need a place to stay in the Holy Land. I found the staff and permanent residents of the PBI very welcoming, and the house itself was surprisingly well-suited for a group of silent retreatants. In addition to a general view of the building, the photos above include a couple of views of the Old City of Jerusalem taken from the roof of the PBI. (For those who might be curious about the two flags visible in the third photo, I should note that the PBI is right next door to the French consulate.) I hope that you enjoy the photos. AMDG.

This gold colored metal 7-branch menorah is decorated with images of the Old City of Jerusalem, engraved on its hexagonal two-layered base and its tall candle holders. In the center is the smooth stem and from it emerge the branches. A special touch is the engraved "Jerusalem" and "Holyland" on the base. Available in two sizes.

The photographs in the John D. Whiting Collection document two related subject areas: (1) places, events, and people in the Middle East, and (2) daily life among members and associates at the American Colony in Jerusalem. More than 3,200 images cover the years 1870 to 1951, with the bulk dating from 1900 to 1940. The heart of the collection is twenty-eight photograph albums that offer a visual narrative through many captioned images. There are also panoramic photos, stereographs, individual photo prints, transparencies, and negatives. John D. Whiting (1882-1951), other American Colony photographers (including Eric Matson and Lewis Larsson), and the Matson Photo Service took most of the images, some of which are hand-colored.

John Whiting led a varied and multi-faceted professional life in Jerusalem. He worked with the American Colony Photo Department as a photographer and also helped run the business. With his brother-in-law, Frederick Vester, he was a partner and manager of the Vester & Co.-American Colony Store near the Jaffa Gate, where American Colony Photo Department prints, lantern slides, and postcard images were sold along with other merchandise. He was involved in starting a short-lived New York City branch of the American Colony Store, which failed due to economic recession. Whiting was fluent in Arabic. He collected antiquities such as pottery and figurines that were sold at the store, as well as Palestinian needlework and other artifacts. From 1908 to around 1915, Whiting was deputy American consul for Jerusalem, specializing in issues of commerce and agriculture. During World War I he supplied aid to wounded soldiers as a volunteer with the Turkish Red Crescent and the American Colony Nurses. In 1918 he began service as an intelligence officer for the British Army. Whiting had widespread knowledge of the landscapes and historic sites of the Middle East. He often guided visitors on tours of Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon. He wrote numerous articles for National Geographic Magazine illustrated with photographs produced by the American Colony Photo Department and its successor studio, the Matson Photo Service. (See Selected Bibliography).

Twenty-two of the Whiting Collection albums were selected for digitization and are available in the Prints and Photographs Online Catalog (PPOC) (//www.loc.gov/pictures/) along with descriptive information. These album images can be seen in two viewing arrangements:an image grid that enables you to select and view each image along with its caption [view an example]a "pageturner" album view that enables you to look at how the images appear on the album pages in sequence from cover to cover [view an example] Selected individual images from other albums and photographs in the collection are also available online. The digital scans were made by a contractor, DataTrac, in 2007 and 2008. We ask researchers to use the digital images to help preserve the original materials.

All P&P Whiting collection materials are listed below with links to online images or descriptive information in PPOC. The list is organized in two categories: "Views, Events, and People of the Middle East" and "American Colony Life, Members, and Associates," based on the predominant subject of the images.

Users may download images themselves or can order copies through the Library of Congress Duplication Services. Orders must include the reproduction number of the desired image. Example: LC-DIG-ppmsca-17414-00009.

No restrictions are known on publication or other forms of distribution of the images in the John D. Whiting Collection. Please cite the source of the image with the credit line: Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division, [reproduction number, e.g., LC-DIG-ppmsca-17414-00009].

Icons were considered to be divine images made without human involvement. Fervent arguments revolved around the question of whether sanctity should be attached to such earthly goods, and as such, during certain periods the use of icons was forbidden. Many were destroyed, while others were hidden in remote monasteries. This 7th-century icon box provides rare evidence of the use of icons in early Christianity.

When you search for images of the Israel-Hamas war on Adobe Stock, a paid stock image repository, you get a poignant photo of a woman in a dark dress and hijab, looking out over a field of rubble and dust. She holds the hand of a young boy.

Tech site Futurism found that several small news outlets had already used some of the generated images, including one of a plume of black smoke rising from a city that appears to be in Israel or Gaza.

By Thursday, iStock appeared to be in the process of removing some of the more incendiary faked images from their site; while images of helicopters and buildings on fire still showed up on the search, they could not be downloaded.

While I am responsible for the intellectual content, i.e., the structure, periodization, and annotation, I hold no copyright of most of the images and documents. Where possible, I indicate the source or link to other sites on the internet offering access to sources (e.g., the websites maintained by UN member organizations). Once the site is complete (at least on a basic level), I intend to use it as the main 'textbook' for the course, making it unnecessary for students to acquire any further books. At this stage, however, the site is to be used in addition to the course textbook, which used to be Karen Armstrong's Jerusalem: One City, Three Faiths; currently, I use Asali, Jerusalem in History.

Shawn Provencal at the Geddes Language Center designed the basic functionality and architecture of this site, based on a stylistic sketch by Eike Winzer (Thanks, Eike!). Without Shawn and much help from the other good folks at the Geddes (esp. Bruce and Bob), I couldn't have put this together. Amy Allen scanned hundreds of images now available to our Jerusalem project. Her work was funded by a grant of the BU Humanities Foundation. A large part of our image library consists of slides taken over many years by Prof. emeritus James Purvis. Special thanks to Jim for his single-minded dedication to creating a first rate collection and for sharing it so generously. Sara Schlesinger, an intern funded by Smith College, collected and organized lots of additional material (texts and images), as well as prepared an annotated links page and helped with the html tinkering.

Two schemes for the simulation of IR images of ground terrain are presented. Both preserve the statistics and power spectra of the temperature variation over the scene according to the experimental findings. The first scheme generates the scene directly in the spatial domain, while the second generates it in the spatial-frequency domain. Each is advantageous according to the simulation task needed.
