More Jerusalem Pictures

I got a few more rolls of film on the computer.
Below are a few pictures I picked out to post.



Me at Lazarus Tomb

This is one of my favorite pictures - but it doesn't show up great here, if you click on it you can get a bigger picture. This is in the Garden of Gethsemane, there is a statue of Jesus praying, in the background is Golden Gate, where Jesus made his triumphal entry, and the Dome of the Rock. The temple at Jesus' time would have been about 50 feet taller than that.



Shopping in the Old City




Me at the Western Wall.



Me at Qumran - where they found the Dead Sea Scrolls.



Me in the Orthodox section of the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem.



This is the road for Jerusalem to Jericho - hiking this make the Parable of the Good Samaritan take on new meaning - crossing to the other side was a big deal, the road goes along the cliff up where I am, not in the bottom.



The front lawn at the Jerusalem Center, I watched a lot of sunsets from here. Inside those windows is where we had church.




This is the valley of Elah, where David slew Goliath.




Down the street from the Jerusalem Center .
I always thought it was funny to have a camel walk by.

Those are some great pictures. You are lucky to have been able to visit some of the most sacred places in the Bible. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome pictures! Do you sometimes look at these pictures in disbelief that you were actually there? What an amazing opportunity!

Thanks for sharing these pictures. I still have (and love) the little oil lamp you brought back for me. I think about it every time we talk about the 10 Virgins.
