Photos from Jerusalem- Sept. 9, 2010

I'm sitting just outside JUC's gate with the Hinnom Valley behind me and the Yemin Moshe (the first Jewish settlement outside the Old City walls) on the side of the hill.
Some of the students at the JUC BBQ last Friday night in the school's garden area. The windows with the arches on the second floor show the apartment of the school's president and his wife--Dr. Paul and Diane Wright.
Larry is standing facing east with the King David Hotel (the flat roof building) in the background.
A view of the Western Wall plaza and the Temple Mount area in front of the remains of King Herod's retaining wall from the second temple. The Dome of the Rock is the building with the golden dome. This is probably the location of the first and second Jewish Temple. We love visiting this area in the Jewish Quarter of the city.
Note the lovely bouquet given to me by the Wrights on my birthday. Flowers from Jerusalem.

  1. Amazing shots! You have captured the contrast between this ancient city and some of its modern features. I so enjoy reading about all of your different encounters and experiences.
