Israel Garden and Landscaping

This photo was taken last Janurary 2007 during my visit to Israel. This is the graden courtyard where we stayed. Date palms, with fruit bearing trees is being use for planting. Israel art and culture was actually influenced by many period but this one was more on the Greek and Romans influenced.  The photo shows a columnar Agora during Davids time, called Davids Temple, it was a civic center, with stoas, shops, meeting places, Odenion and part of the government buildings such as Bouleterion and Tholos, but are now all in ruin. To compare this with our own, Philippines has structures and buildings such as this located in the urban manila. Manila City Hall, Museum, Manila Post offices are some of this type of structures.
