A New Morning in Jerusalem and beyond.


Waking up  to a new morning in an unknown city is full of promises.


The noise in the small streets, the smell of freshly baked bread


The view from the window


Damascus Gate in Jerusalem. A city which is so important for so many religions.
We did not stay long but headed off to start our hiking tour on the Westbank.


We had to take many de-tours due to road blocks or like here to demonstrations and burning of tyres.


I guess I have never ever before seen so many car wrecks.


And then beautiful pastoral scenery.


Beautiful little towns where we spent the night.
To be continued...

  5. You are so right CC, where ever you are, at home or traveling, early morning is the most wonderful time of the day.. who knows how the day will unfold ☺ For most of us Jerusalem holds much mystery, so I'm loving your images here, the light is gorgeous.. love both the rural and town scenes.

    1. Angst habe ich nicht - ich bewege mich ja nicht in einem Kriegsgebiet. Mehr Angst hatte ich um meine Knochen beim beim Wandern, das war schon manchmal grenzwertig. Schönes Wochenende.
