These crows for Camera-Critters and clouds for SkyWatch Friday are from two weeks ago.
But this Friday, Saturday, Sunday we are expecting some real rain for a change and temperatures falling down to 18, then 17, then 16 degrees C.
It has not been that cold in a long long time.
The photo is taken from the trail leading down into Ein Kerem village.
I walked there and back, several hours, because on the Sabbath there is no public transportation.
The big wall you see surrounds the convent of the Sisters of Sion. Notre Dame de Sion was built back in 1861 and it is a beautiful quiet place.
And the farming terraces are often from biblical times and are common in the Jerusalem Hills.
I love how they were built to last.
They, too, are part of our built heritage.

... to be a bird.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful spot, glad you shared it.
ReplyDeleteShabbat shalom my friend.
Hi Dina, greetings from Montreal, Canada. Lovely photo! I am enjoying the view with these birds.
ReplyDeleteA walk that takes hours. A luxury to contemplate!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a very old Leonard Cohen song... Like a bird on a wire...
ReplyDeleteThat made me smile. The convent is located in a beautiful place. But I cannot imagine walking hours for anything.
ReplyDeleteWait, I don't understand. Don't people walk anymore?
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a long walk! And beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteI certainly do.
ReplyDeleteI do, Dina, when I can find the time. My husband and I hike in the hills around Pasadena. We don't usually have a destination. It's for exercise. We haven't been able to do much of it lately, though.
ReplyDeleteIf the had a camera...
ReplyDeleteWe are drowning at the moment and expecting close to 100mm this week-end. Fo you want some?
ReplyDeleteDina, lovely skywatch. It is a pretty scene! Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteI prefer to live in a warmer country
ReplyDelete15-16 C sounds good for me !
Just now I have -3.
Nice wiew and photo!
I always enjoy your posts, as you show me things I wouldn't otherwise see.
ReplyDeleteLovely post Dina, and a nice shot of the birds.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a view!
ReplyDeleteI guess that's what you call a bird's eye view. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love this photo. A bird's eye view is always my favorite.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you're in such good shape if you're having to rely on walking every week on the sabbath. Have a wonderful weekend, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Dina,
ReplyDeleteI´m also enjoying the wonderful view!
I would also enjoy to go for a walk there.
If youre in need of more real rain, no problem. I have enough...
Liebe Grüße,
Pia
Beautiful view! I wish I could sit there with the birds:-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo! Loved the sky and the birds and those terraces! It was interesting learning about them today.
