Dome of the Rock Closeup HDR Greeting Card

The Dome of the Rock is located at the visual center of Jerusalem known as the Temple Mount. It was built over the site of the Second Jewish Temple, which was destroyed during the Roman siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE. Muslims believe that the Dome of the Rock is the site of the Islamic miracle of the Isra and Miraj. This is said to be where Muhammed ascended into Heaven accompanied by the angel Gabriel. The Dome of the Rock is also the holiest site to Judaism, which is one of many major issues between the Jews and Muslims. Muslim authorities will not allow Jews to pray on the temple mount, so Jews go to the Western Wall in order to be as close as possible to the foundation stone of the Temple Mount when they pray. According to Jewish tradition, this stone is where Abraham prepared to sacrifice his some Isaac, before he was stopped by the hand of God. Most Muslims believe that it was Ishmael, not Isaac, who was to be sacrificed.

By David Morefield I started photography for a couple of reason, the main reason was for the pure enjoyment of creating something beautiful. In my past, I have seen some of the greatest horrors known to man, so finding other images to place into my head has been therapeutic. I call it "Image Replacement Therapy." Over time, I had some people ask about buying prints, so I started posting prints for sale and this is how Fluffyshotme Photography was born. I prefer to go out and capture whatever strikes me in the moment and if others like it, then great. My photography is more for me to appreciate, but if others can get enjoyment out of my work, then that brings me a sense of fulfillment. I am interested in travelling the world....
