Today, pictures from valued commenter Big R.
I spent Saturday wandering the Old City because, you know, there just wasn’t anything open unless it was run by non-Jews and for tourists. These are a few pictures from that day.

Old City, Jerusalem
I know what you guys come here to see. And so do I.

Jerusalem
The Old City sits on top of a mountain and Jerusalem’s growth has been onto the next mountain over. The valley between them is referred to as the Hinnom. This is a view of the Old City from the New.
(Don’t be too judgmental if I’ve screwed up names; my Hebrew is…not great.)

Hagia Sion, Old City, Jerusalem
So I took this picture thinking this was an old Byzantine church from the medieval period. In fact, it’s a Roman church built in 1910. But it sure looks Greek, don’t it?

Thank you so much Big R, do send us more when you can.
Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.

Nice pictures, Israel is on my list of countries to visit someday in my life. Hopefully in peaceful times.
Anyway, happy thanksgiving to everybody across the Atlantic.
We’re remodelling our living room, my pc is stowed away, so I won’t submit pictures this week. I hope I have my pc and some minutes in time for next Friday.

@JWL:
What did they do?

@Amir Khalid: The court displeased Our Leader, according to our leader. A few minutes later, he fantasized aloud about American troops gunning down the Caravan of Invasion inching ever closer to our southern border. He also mispronounced ‘Tijuana’ about a half dozen times…

My favourite picture is the cat of course but the others are also beautiful.
