Jerusalem Temple Mount

[Kyle Jones]

I snuck away from our tour early one morning to head into Old Jerusalem and photograph the Western Wall and Temple Mount. Unfortunately they are doing construction and there's a giant crane in the way of any wider view shots. Still have the detail of the Dome of the Rock and Western Wall. Including a wider shot for grins as well.

Any thoughts are welcome

1) Wall and Dome

2) They say the crane is Israel's national bird...

Very cool Kyle! That crane is a bad distraction, so definitely #1 is the way to go. That's some cool light in the early morning light.

Is the camels name Clyde?

The first is great

Hard to avoid that national bird as well as the scaffolding right behind it in #2. It might have been early enough to escape the tour but the morning crowd is already building up. I like the early morning timing so the lights emphasize the Western Wall over the city behind it.

Yeah, the scaffolding is a big part of the reason why I didn't want to bother with the massive clone work to get rid of the crane.
