Homer writer and photographer Christina Whiting captures a silhouette of a camel near the Dead Sea during a recent trip to Jordan. Whiting will share stories and photographs from that visit during a community slide show at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23, at the Homer Council on the Arts. Writes Whiting:“Beyond Petra and the Dead Sea, beyond the deserts, the camels, the hummus and the hijabs, Jordan is a country with a rich, ancient culture, breathtaking natural beauty, spectacular drives, fantastic food and much more, but what makes this country so incredible, so inviting and so captivating, is the people. Jordanian hospitality is like nothing I have ever experienced, and the openness, warmth and caring that was shown to me will remain with me always. During this presentation, I’ll share images and stories from my time falling in love with this country and its people.”-photo by Christina Whiting
