Jordan – Gazing Upon the Land of Canaan from Mount Nebo

LITZ6262

As a traveling documentary photographer accompanying a Christian pilgrimage group, I arrived in Jordan, where history lingers in the air. From the summit of Mount Nebo, I gazed westward at the land of Canaan, where ancient prophecies once unfolded. Along the journey, I captured fleeting moments—the Bedouin shepherd guiding his flock across the road, a young girl standing beside her donkey, watching us with quiet curiosity. Finally, I reached the banks of the Jordan River, at the very site where Jesus was baptized, observing the interplay of faith and the present world. This journey was not merely a religious pilgrimage, but an exploration of culture, history, and the echoes of time.
