About the Image(s)

Baha’i Shrine and gardens was created in Haifa – Israel on the slopes of Mount Carmel last year. It is the Shrine of the Báb (meaning the gate) who was the founder of the Bábi Faith, and one of the central figures of the Baha’i Faith. He was born in Iran in 1819 and was a very prolific writer and he claimed to be a Manifestation of God, of a status as great as Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, receiving revelations as profound as the Torah, Gospel and Quran. After he abandoned his religious faith (Islam) , he was executed in 1850. It was not until 1909 that his remains were transported and interred in the Shrine that is the focal point of the gardens. The 18 garden terraces are symmetrical. The main image was created with a Nikon D850 and the Nikkor zoom lens 28-300 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 85 mm and with these settings: ISO 64, f/8 and 11/1000 sec and shows a view from the street (sea level). The Original is a panorama from 3 images, and the Original 1 is a view of the Haifa seaport taken at the level of the Shrine.
