Jerusalem - Old City

After the Kotel we continued our tour of the old city. On many of the streets there are ramps for carts going up and down the stairs.

Jerusalem - Kotel (Western Wall) Area

We spent some time at the Kotel and took some pictures. There is a lot of security here.

Jerusalem - Old City

We continued our tour through the old city. We also stopped at an old synagogue.

Jerusalem - Church of the Holy Sepulchre

During our walking tour of the old city we visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. I think the images came out better this time, using a monopod and some more surfaces and longer exposures allowed for some really nice images.
Two things, last time I was here the front was covered in scaffolding for repair work and when you take long exposure photos you get ghosts.

Jerusalem - Old City

We met up with a childhood friend of mine (dating back to elementary school) who had made Aliyah and moved to Israel. He gave us a walking tour of the old (walled) city in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem - Yad Vashem

We paid a visit to Jerusalem. On our first afternoon there we went to what I consider to be the most depressing museum I have ever visited. Everything about this museum is arranged to feel claustrophobic and oppressive. There is a ton of information to absorb and I strongly recommend using the audio guide. At the same time there is an odd serenity to the grounds.
