Jerusalem is inexhaustible for a photographer. Returning here again and again, I never tire of being amazed by how multifaceted and unexpected it is.
The Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem.
Jaffa Gate. Saturday.
Mea Shearim. Shabbat.
The Western Wall from the observation deck in the Jewish Quarter.
Millions of people from all over the world bring notes to the Western Wall every year.
Few people know that old Jerusalem lives a "double life." One unfolds in the streets, the other on the rooftops.
Entrance to the Ethiopian Monastery.
An Ethiopian girl hurries to the service.
The bell tower of the Church of the Redeemer. Just 78 steps and Jerusalem lies before you in the palm of your hand.
The courtyard of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. A rare opportunity to photograph the courtyard from the roof of the building opposite.
There is always bustle in the courtyard of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. And in the background, leaning on the railing, stand the three keepers of the church keys.
The twelve petals of the dome symbolize the 12 apostles. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
A little way from the Stone of Anointing is the "Lamentation" mosaic. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
The Arab market. There is a belief that the more plates a local waiter can carry at once, the more professional he is.
And simply bright, juicy, delicious souvenirs. If you don't buy them, you should at least photograph them. The Old City.
The Arab market in the Old City is so distinctive, whimsical, and colorful... What is surprising is its deliberate "indiscrimination" when it comes to what to sell. Here you will find Jewish menorahs, Christian crosses, and Muslim crescents.
But you still need to buy something "small"...
Or maybe Aladdin's genie lived in just such a lamp?...
The Church of Mary Magdalene.
View of the Alexander Compound from the roof of the building opposite. More of those walks on the rooftops of Jerusalem.
The old Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives. It is believed that the Resurrection with the coming of the Moshiach will begin right here, and all those buried here will rise first.
