ReplyDeleteW for Walls. Brilliant.
Wow 7 W post. You are Wonderful. I enjoyed each one.
ReplyDeleteOh Dear! Every picture on your blog is erasing every idea I've always had of what the country-side of Israel is. (Your header alone is a major shock to me!) I really thought "desert" was the word that best described all of Israel.
ReplyDeleteI've only just begun exploring your blog, so obviously don't know a lot about it, but am looking forward to taking the time to getting to know it and you and Israel better.
And, by the way?? Superb ABC Wednesday W post!!
and of course, your sky looks pretty blue too!

Next to the Great wall of China, and the defunct Berlin Wall, we always think of the Wailing wall. Fascinating post and those overviews are pretty stunning.
ReplyDeleteHi Dina! I was thinking of the Wailing Wall when I think of Jerusalem. Your photos are always interesting and informative. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNice and interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of Ws! Great choices and showing us so much of Jerusalem.
ReplyDeleteI like that angle of the wall, never have seen it like that before. It's so nice to get a perspective of an archeologist on a blog, so personal....
ReplyDeleteI accidently did a "W" post for Wednesday in my Wood Duck post. I guess I will have to look into this. Your posts as always Dina are so informative. I may not always comment, but I always read them...
ReplyDeleteYou've shown places I would dearly love to visit someday in person, but know seeing your photos is as close as I'll ever get to them.
