Rowallan Scout and camping site

                                                                Rowallan

Rowallan is one of the places, one should consider visiting, I wont give its direction as in Jamuhuri as it is rather as a Camp in the backyard of Kibera, it is relatively cheap, cheaper than any camping site you can find in Kenya.

The total area of the place is 70 acres,, alot to cover, 30 acres has a dot or a structure as the guide told me.

House of the hanged man

                                     PAUL CEZANNE'S HOUSE OF THE HANGED MAN

 From what have read and heard about Cezanne , despite being an impressionist. The founder of Cubism, the house of the hanged man is one of his paintings that i really love.

He was also a master of still art, painting flowers in a vase or fruits on top of a table, I have a monochrome and a plate of Cezanne's house of the hanged man, it was made  in around  1950, the person who bought the book, did so in the spring of 1952.

August Park Nairobi

                                                   AUGUST-PARK NAIROBI

    This is one of the parks you might miss in Nairobi, the gate is so hidden, with the busy Nairobi streets, you might not see it at all,

The park is next to the iconic Looming tower, which used to be US Embassy, now it is being used by co-operative bank. 

Formerly housing the US embassy building, this memorial is an homage to the victims of the 1998 terrorist attack, also regarded as a generic symbol for peace and coexistence.

charges at the gate is 30 bob.

Galton Fenzi Memorial

                                                          GALTON-FENZI

   

I was in town the other day, I came across the Galton-Fenzi Memorial, across Cardinal Otunga Plaza. Galton has a fantastic story.the Royal East Africa Automobile Association in 1919, n. He is also remembered as the first motorist to drive from Nairobi to Mombasa in 1926 when all that existed was a dirt track.

The now caged memorial with its numerous cryptic markings which denote possible coordinates for routes that Galton-Fenzi developed for the association, sits near a designated smoking zone that may put you off if you are a non-smoker.

The memorial was erected in 1939 after Galton-Fenzi’s death on May 15th 1937. Until his death at the age of 56, Galton Fenzi remained the Honorary Secretary of the Royal East Africa Automobile Association that he founded in 1923.

The place where the peculiar monument stands is said to be the focal point from which all distances to and from Nairobi were measured.

Galton-Fenzi, after founding the association, began negotiating for loan cars to test them for their suitability under East African conditions. One of the cars he received was a Riley 12/50 from the Riley Motor Car Co. Ltd. of Coventry which he used to make the maiden drive from Nairobi to Mombasa and back.

CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM

                                                                    RELIGION 

Religion is one of the most sacred practise in human life, there are many religions across the world examples are Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Sikhism, traditionalists and Islam. Some like Christianity have a very little difference, in Christianity alone there are a lot of denominations, from Anglican to Catholic.

In this blog am going to talk about two of the close religion.

                                                         1. Judaism

Judaism  is an Abrahamic ethnic religion comprising the collective religiuos, cultural and legal tradition and civilisation of the Jewish people.Judaism is considered by religious Jews to be the expression of the covenant that God established with the children of Israel it encompasses a wide body of texts, practices, theological positions, and forms of organisation. The Torah is part of the larger text known as the Tonkah or the Hebrew Bible and supplemental oral tradition represented by later texts such as the Midrash and the Talmud With between 14.5 and 17.4 million adherents worldwide,Judaism is the tenth largest religion in the world.

                                             2. CHRISTIANITY

Christianity is the most widely practices religion in the world, with more than 2 billion followers. The Christian faith centres on beliefs regarding the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While it started with a small group of adherents, many historians regard the spread and adoption of Christianity throughout the world as one of the most successful spiritual missions in human history.

 Am a christian, one of the things have noticed, or you have probably noticed, some of these religion are more of one thing, a simple difference between Christianity and Judaism. Jews believe in individual and collective participation in an eternal dialogue with God through tradition, rituals, prayers and ethical actions. Christianity generally believes in a Triune God, one person of whom became human. Judaism emphasises the Oneness of God and rejects the Christian concept of God in human form.
