Photos of the Center

Photos taken by Bradley Ross, a past teacher at the center. If you want to see more of his JC pictures (or see these bigger,) visit http://bradley.dyndns.org/jeru/photos.html These selections are just a few snapshot glances at what the center is like. Sorry about the strange formatting-- I'm still getting the hang of this, and posting with this site takes a while to get used to.

"Enter to learn, go forth to serve, " well, almost... No BYU campus is complete without a sign like this. And check out the landscaping! I may never be able to escape juniper bushes...














Just inside the main gate, this approx. 2000 year old olive tree was transplanted from Nazareth. Many fingers crossed in hopes that it would survive the transplant, and against all odds the ancient tree has flourished and shows new growth-- odd behavior for an olive tree that old. (And no, Mom, it is not barren, nor does it have unbearable vibrato... ha ha ha. Inside joke.)















(Below) Main Entry Hall, and the first thing you see after walking through the front doors. The first glimpse of the center's interior is breathtaking, or so I hear.


















A dated shot of the "Oasis," or rather, the cafeteria. For those of you who thought I was making a pun, it really is called the oasis.













Different shots of the Upper Auditorium & the Organ:

View from the podium, or stage, depending on the type of concert or meeting. (Where church is held.)











Here's a bigger shot of the organ. There's a rather intriguing story about how we got it. If anyone wants to hear it, say please.

View from outside.The curtains you see in the window are behind the podium.



















Taken from inside and across the way, this view is meant to show that the Auditorium is surrounded by green stuff.



















The scenic view from the congregation. Bet it's hard to keep your eyes on the speaker instead of outside.
