Tonight I was looking for some pictures of Geshur for my class tomorrow and decided to share a few pictures from Around the Sea of Galilee.
Here is the stele at the gate of et-Tell, which may have been the capital of Geshur. It has also been identified as Bethsaida, but in recent years new findings have shown that a different location may be Bethsaida.
The stele is thought to depict a moon god in the shape of a bull.
Here are the city gates which are to the left of the stele.
From the top of the tel you can see the Sea of Galilee in the distance. Seeing the hills in the distance made me think of some pictures that I took from them.
I really like this picture that I took from Poryia looking northeast over the Sea of Galilee.
I also took a picture at sunset from the same location.
Across the sea from Poryia is Hippos. This picture was not taken from Poryia, but you can see it from there.
Since I have shown pictures from three corners of the Sea of Galilee, I guess that I should share one also from the northwest corner. This picture was taken from a private beach at another hostel that we stayed in.
Now to finish my presentation. I also need to remember to remove the usb stick from the computer when I am done 🙂 Last week I discovered when I arrived at our worship place that it was still in the computer at home.
