This
is Bethlehem, well I guess behind me is. Its not the whole scene: so if you
look at my shoulders there is a ridge-that’s not it. There is another ridge
above that, like near my eyes. Behind that ridge is Bethlehem. It stretches
from the buildings on the left (in the distance) to all over to the right past
what the picture sees. At the time of chirst the town only held somewhere
around 2000 people. So when King Herod came to slaughter all the firstborns up
to the age of 2, he was only (I say that carefully) killing like 20 or so
infants. Which I mean is a terrible thing, but I always imagined it was a lot
more than that.
