Some various photos...


These are some pillars in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem. They are the remains of a main street called the Cardo. It was called this because the street was the 'heart' of commerce in Byzantine Jerusalem.




This is a staircase from the cemetery in which Oskar Schindler is buried. It overlooks the valley of Hinnom which Jeremiah prophesied would be called the 'valley of slaughter' after the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem. His prophecy came true in the year 586 BC and the nation of Judah was carried off into exile.

















Blogger is acting up right now making it hard to add captions to the posts... I'll update this as soon as it's not being dumb anymore! In the meantime, enjoy the pics... and you can make up whatever you want about them before you really know what they are. you could tell your friends "See! Here's a staircase from mars. There really ARE Martians!"
