Jerusalem Walls

Sean in Jerusalem - February, 2008

I was in Jerusalem earlier this year. We tried to get this photo a couple of times; by the time this one took -- it turned out the best -- the humorous look on my face was one of, "Have you figured out the camera yet?"

In the background over my right shoulder is the Dome of the Rock, which is a mosque built on one corner of the old Jewish Temple. Over my left shoulder is the closed front gate of the city, called the Golden Gate or the Beautiful Gate in the time of Christ. The near side of the city wall is an ancient graveyard, which slopes down to the Kidron Valley.
