We had a little picnic and I photographed this flower. Blogger insists on importing it vertically; it should be otherwise, but... Happy end of Passover.

The archaeological garden near the Southern Wall

In the background, the slopes of the Mount of Olives cemetary.

To the Western Wall

People are arriving from the road on the right side. In the center of the picture, the bridge leading to the Mughrabi gate and to the mosques. Under the bridge, a sign indicates an archaeological dig. The Western wall is part of what remains of the surrounding walls of the Temple, destroyed in 69 by Titus. It goes on underground deep inside the moslem quarter.

New monastery on Hebron Road

The sisters of Saint Dorothea began this building more than a year ago. It now looks almost finished, but I don't know if it is inhabited yet.

Talitha Kumi

In 1868, a Christian girls' orphanage and school, Talitha Kumi, was built in what is now part of the center of town, by the renowned architect Conrad Schick. All that now remains of the original building is a three-part memorial outside Hamashbir on King George Avenue - the original facade including a clock and engraving, a chimney, and part of a window - erected by Jerusalem architect David Kroyanker after the building was destroyed in 1980 to make way for property development.
