Two Sides of the Wall

I spent Christmas 2007 in Israel and Palestine. This is the part of the world where you can encounter the largest constrasts, both geographical and social ones.

Jerusalem


The Temple Mount with the lamentation Wall and the Dome of the Rock above. Yeah, everyone saw it on TV.

Betlehem

A street in Betlehem cut by the wall.

Graffitis on the wall in Betlehem.


Dead Sea

Salty rocks at the bank of the Dead Sea.


Massada, the legendary Jewish fortress from the Roman times.

Jericho


A monastery on the side of the Mount of Tempation. In foreground, a cable car, one of the last tourist facilities in the Palestinian territories.
Neguev



The Martian landscape of the Makhtesh Ramon crater.

Akko
