On the Mount of Olives

A sacred place for Jews and Christians, here's what it looks like today.

It's the guy's mustache people were photographing. Notice the hose he carries--for beating his donkey.

With Jerusalem in the background. And a whole bunch of other people. We were not alone on the Mount of Olives. Directly below is a cemetery.

Notice the hose in the hands of the camel driver. It's for beating his camel. I quite like the look on this camel's face.

A Muslim village. Bethlehem in the background.

The bottom left corner of the picture shows another cemetery. There are many such cemeteries in Jerusalem. Muslims accuse Jews of placing cemeteries--which Muslims claim are empty--in areas where they don't want Muslims to settle.

I know it says 24 hours, but it was closed.

Okay, so I was a bit disappointed in the Mount of Olives, not the place itself. You know.
