JERUSALEM
The City of Jerusalem has always fascinated me. Each time I have visited Jerusalem I have been overwhelmed by the ancientness of this city; the beautiful rustic carved stones that form beautiful buildings; the enormous chiseled stone blocks that form the Western Wall; the quaint narrow alleyways that interlace and meander through the city; the columns and arches of houses and sacred structures; the sculpted rocks of embankments that support the roadways in and around the hills of Jerusalem; and the peaceful cafes serving coffee, fruit drinks, delicious pastries and where the Hebrew tongue is interrupted by every language on earth. Jerusalem is a holy city to many faiths and forms the center point of believe for those who follow the God of Israel.
