Tonight's moon on the ramparts

.

The almost-full moon rose over the Old City wall.
We walked here just a few hours ago,  at 5:25 pm,  in the magical light of not-day not-night. 


At the base of the ramparts Arab boys were kicking a ball around on what's left of the green grass in Gan Habonim park. 
I was happy for them because if they live inside the small Old City, there they have almost no grassy open spaces for soccer.
.
Jerusalem is so beautiful, day and night.  Always.

    Now that's a sight I would never grow tired of . . . both the moon rising over the Old City wall, and happy children.

    Neat crenulated wall photo. The light of dusk is really special.
