So my relative Ellen (yes, I do know exactly how we’re related, but there isn’t space in this post to go through the whole explanation) has a collection of photographs of friends in places all over the world holding up signs which say “Hello, Ellen”. I saw this collection in her office in downtown Atlanta the same day I got on the plane to Jerusalem, and I decided then that I’d add to her collection. I’ll send her a print when I get home.
The gold dome to the left of my head is the Dome of the Rock, and you can see the walls of Old Jerusalem spreading out just below the dome. I was fiddling with the timer on my digital camera when a nice guy stopped and offered to take my picture for me. The shadow at the bottom left isn’t really a shadow: it’s the shutter which failed to open completely. (Shadows like that are not so common in Israel, but a shadow can lower the temperature incredibly.) On the left is southern Jerusalem, where we’ve been staying, and on the right is East Jerusalem.
Wow Beth, how neat this is to see you in Jerusalem!
My has a month gone by already? That was fast.
I giggled at your previous post about the ‘d’
I could just see you husband saying “so what is wrong with it? Looks like a ‘d’ to me”
have a safe trip home
