  1. Hi Andrew,
    I have developed a website called Seetheholyland.net, which describes holy places in Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Jordan and Egypt with the aim of encouraging pilgrimages to these places.
    I am working on an article on Machaerus and I want to ask your permission to use one of your images. This is the one you have captioned "Top of Machaerus".
    If you agree I will credit the image to you and use the copyright symbol.
    Kind regards,
    Pat.
