AT&T Park (3) - 20 April 2016

This cable car at AT&T Park was difficult to photograph without people on a game day and extremely difficult to research.
Referring to www.streetcar.org/roster/ , I have found the following (edited) information. Originally no. 4 now at AT&T Park and numbered 44 for (first baseman) Willie McCovey. Built 1887 by Mahoney Bros. as open car No. 543 and rebuilt as standard car No. 504 in 1915.
Any additional information welcome.

Masada (40) - 20 May 2014

Masada is an ancient fortification in the Southern District of Israel situated on top of an isolated rock plateau on the eastern edge of the Judaean Desert, overlooking the Dead Sea. Herod the Great built palaces for himself on the mountain and fortified Masada between 37 and 31 BCE. According to Josephus, the Siege of Masada by troops of the Roman Empire towards the end of the First Jewish–Roman War ended in the mass suicide of the 960 Sicarri rebels and their families hiding there.
Masada is deservedly one of Israel's most popular tourist attractions. I found it absolutely fascinating, enjoying both the remarkably extensive remains and the stunning views of Israel, across the Dead Sea and into Jordan, especially from the excellent, modern cable car.
