Three fun pics gleaned from a short walk across the Muslim Quarter and the Christian Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City.
In a grocery shop, the 6th century Dome of the Rock atop a mountain of spices.Enlarge to see the sesame and za'atar up close!
11:50 a.m. Arab girls in their school uniforms, busy with snacks.
An old colander is secondary use. Imagine carrying such big keys in your pocket in the old days!
