I came back after a year in New York and decided to be a tourist for a day in my own city. I went out with my camera and walked around a few neighborhoods in downtown Jerusalem shooting pics. It was a great day and I got some nice shots. Tell me what you think!

Man, that's really beautiful. I love how almost all the buildings are made of stone. Jerusalem looks like an extremely fascinating place to visit. How long have you lived there?

Great picture quality, btw.

I grew up here, this is my home town. We moved here from a coastal town near Tel Aviv when I was 7.

Jerusalem is simply fascinating. There are some places in the city that are just mind boggling - you can see 3 faiths and 3000 years of history all in front of your eyes at once. There's actually a law requiring every building to have an outer layer of 'Jerusalem' stone, a type of limestone.

Wow those pictures are really nice.

I really like all of them, especially the ones with little stories such as the guy in the window playing music.

I really like the piano lessons one too.

Thanks! I added some more descriptions.

Nice gallery!

Hmm, next year in Israel!

I hope. Not this year.. but next passover.. I can really only hope.

Thanks for giving me even more reasons to visit your country.
