I am trying to link photographs to the various places named, but due to space constraints, an not able to. If you have some space to give me to link this Site, I could send you the photo ".gif" files for you to connect, each word underlined has a photo available (more than 80 photos available to be used). I also wish to thank all those who gave me some feedback and input for this article, especially Mr. T.P.Issar, who has made some corrections on the original version of this and also kindly given me permission to use some of the photos from his book "The City Beautiful", if I need to.

Thought for the Day:" Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man's sake. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, Fon in the manner their fathers did to the prophets. But woe to you who are rich, For you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full, For you shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, For you shall mourn and weep. Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did they fathers to the false prophets." Holy Bible: Luke 6:20-26
