Keeping watch at the gate

.
Stand back in the corner, inside Jaffa Gate, for half an hour.
Keep your eyes open.
You will see all humanity pass through.

  1. hello beautiful Dina, oh how I love this poetry through light.

    I had your permission then to print for my own private use so I think I will go for this one. thankyou!

    I was really surprised earlier I put up the google translator bar from the gadget section and wow it translated my page using hebrew script for example and chinese also.actually the script not the sounds.--speaking of beautiful poetry through light.and english sections that I had translated beautifully to french. this is often problematic.yes poetry through light.

    shalom love and light.

  7. Great find! I've always been a people watcher, and you're right that the Old City is a great place to do it!
    I'm completely honored that you're playing along in WWDD - thanks so much!

  8. Ah, the Jaffa Gate. Jerusalem is the center of the earth after all...or so some claim and in a way I agree with them. No wonder all humanity passes through!

  13. When I am engaged with a photography subject, it seems that time stops. Sometimes, it seems I have stopped breathing. I love to imagine your energy-flow as you enjoyed that half hour of people-watching, and then selected your photograph for this post.
