The North Theater in Gerash, Joradan was "[b]uilt in about AD 165 and enlarged in 235, it was most likely used for government meetings rather than artistic performances. Originally it had 14 rows of seats with two vaulted passageways leading to the front of theatre, as well as five internal arched corridors leading to the upper rows. Many of the seats are inscribed with the names of delegates who voted in the city council. Like many of the grand monuments at Jerash, the North Theatre was destroyed by earthquakes and then partially dismantled for later Byzantine and Umayyad building projects. However, in recent years it has been magnificently restored and still maintains a capacity of about 2000 people. The theatre may not have been used for performances but there’s still plenty of rhythm in the design details, with round niches and inverted scallop shells, and exuberant carvings of musicians and dancers at the base of the stairs." www.lonelyplanet.com/jordan/jerash-and-the-north/jerash/sights/other/north-theatre Jordan inherited its interest in bagpipes from the British Army. Pipers at the North Theater play for tips. AIMG 3632

Created for The Sunday Challenge: Post processing This was created from a photograph of a friend of mine who was performing a summer concert in the Hatch Shell in Boston. The original photograph was a bit soft when viewed full screen. This image was created in Photoshop Elements using the poster edges feature. I think that post-processing made it a more dynamic image with the harsh lines and color changes. It is difficult to appreciate the full effect unless it is viewed large. PIMG 0418A
