Picture of the Week CIV
This week we head off to Jerusalem’s Machane Yehuda market, one of Israel’s best markets, and a must-see on any trip to Jerusalem. There is a great vibe to this pic – even though it’s in black and white – of people enjoying the last couple of hours before Shabbat kicks in.
The pic was taken by Alinasta, a lady from Jerusalem who has some interesting shots of the Holy City in her collection. Click to big to get the real deal.

This week we head down the old alleyways of the Old City in Jerusalem, for a quite stunning shot. Not a lot to add to this, I suggest you just click on the pic (to enlarge it) and see for yourselves…
It was taken by David Mor, who has some other fine shots over here, especially of the Old City.

This week we’re off to Jerusalem again, for a flying visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the Old City. One of the most inspirational and moving places to visit in Israel, regardless of your religion…
The picture was taken by Scott Ableman, who it seems was on holiday here a couple of years ago. Great pic – click to big.
Picture of the Week XCVI
This week there’s only one possible scene that could make our weekly piece of visual magic – some Jerusalem snow. OK, it might not have actually snowed in Jerusalem this week, but the anticipation was there after a couple of very wintry days in Israel…and it did snow in the far north of the country!
The pic was taken by VadimBravo, a guy from Jerusalem/Raanana. He’s got some very nice shots over here, check him out! And click to big to really appreciate the wonder of snow falling in Jerusalem (yes, it doesn’t happen often – this pic was taken in 2006)…

We stay in Jerusalem this week, and into the Old City we go once again. And time for some home made lemonade to quench that thirst, as we head down the legendary Via Dolorosa.
You’ll find plenty of these home made containers in Israel, full of various juices and vibrant colors, usually in street corner kiosk-type shops, and manned by a toothless old geezer. Definitely a great alternative to the regular Coke or Sprite. Love the zesty feel to this pic, taken by henrik.schwarz, who has some great pix of Israel here.

This week we head over to Jerusalem once again, and to the holiest of topics – food! One of the sweetest things you’ll come across in Israel is the Arab desserts, especially the baklava, which I think the dessert pictured is a type of. Very sticky, very sweet!
The pic was taken at a small Arab cafe in the Old City of Jerusalem by thegreattiny, a lady in Jerusalem who has a very interesting collection of shots.

Picture of the Week LXXXVI
First of all, Happy New Year! May all your dreams come true in 2011.
Secondly, here is a great shot from Jerusalem, as an Orthodox Jew (maybe even a rabbi?) hangs out his knickers to dry in the sun. OK, they’re not his knickers, but it’s still a great shot. The pic was taken by judi333, a lass from Jerusalem who has some great shots of the capital in her collection.

Jerusalem time yet again. And there’s nothing quite like a bit of market action to get those senses working overtime. This week we’re headed over to the Mahane Yehuda Market in Jerusalem, a place you really should try and visit if you make it over to Jerusalem (and if you don’t make it over to Jerusalem on your trip to Israel, well…).
The pic was taken by henrik.schwarz, a guy who, er, takes lots of pics of locations in Israel, so I guess he must live here. Check out some of his shots for a great glimpse of Israel.
