It was AMAZING as i predicted and almost i imagined this meet and this walk. We met with my friend Hannah in TelAviv, close to the hotel where she stayed for these two weeks of the short visit. We continued our drive to Jerusalem, stopped for the short picnic somewhere on the way in the middle of the mountains and after the half hour of looking for a parking place, finally we started our 10 km walk from the Jafa street.
The route wasn't tight planned. I just remembered the points of interest i hold in my mind to show her, and i put them somehow on the whole map with the goal not to go in small circles but in one big circle. We got a surprisingly spring weather day, supporting our walk until the evening.
The place we visited and walked by were:
- The new Gate of the old city located in the Christian quarter.
- Continued with the David street of the Old city market.
- Stopped for around one hour in the Western Wall location.
- Came out through the Zion Gate to the beautiful view point to the Silwan village.
- Went down into the Wadi and went to the huge Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
- Continued to the Silwan village, just to see how it looks from the close distance to the entrance of the "village".
- Returned back to the Zion Gate and walked through the Jewish quarter again to the David street.
- Visited the undergoing full renovation Church of the holy Subculture.
- Through the Deir as-Sultan on the Holy Sepulcher Church continued to the streets of the Muslim quarter.
- Stopped for a coffee in the nice Al Mufti cafe.
- Went all the way of the Via Dolorosa street to the New Gate.
Here more or less of this day not including the adventure of taking out the car from the closed to weekend parking place, and very nice stop for a Pizza and a beer in the Chilly-Pizza cafe.
So, from the four quarters we didn't visit the only Armenian quarter, even we almost crossed it in our way to the Church of the holy Subculture.
I photographed with the only film cameras, and actually took very small amount of images. Yes, using film definitely makes you thinking twice before every click. Now, it will take some time to finish the rolls, to develop, to scan and finally to bring here the results. :-))) I'm really understand why most of people even don't think about to return back or even to try film photography. In our Tik-Tok era, what wasn't immediately, was't. Everything is live and breaking whatever.
These published in this post images were photographed during recent years, not yesterday. Can you recognize this fact? Not sure. The real photography is timeless.
