Binoculars Provided to View the Details

If you're planning to visit Norfolk, England this summer you might want to allow time to visit Alan Garrard's 1:100 scale model of Herod's Temple. A retired farmer, Garrard (78) has spent the last 30 years constructing his version of the ancient Jewish structure which stood in Jerusalem during Jesus' day.
Attracting thousands of visitors from around the globe, historical experts believe the model is the best representation in the world.

Now that's what I call a hobby!

I like his comment that the other models he had seen were rubbish, so he decided he would do better.

What an amazing building the Temple must have been. I hope his model lasts longer than the real thing.

That is way cool! Now another one I really would like to see is the Milleniel Temple from Ezekiel. I'm thinking that would be even more beautiful!

Buffy: Yes, no doubt this model will last longer than the real thing.:~D

Kim: You're right. I'll bet the Millenial Temple will be stunning. :~D
