Yed Vashem

6/9/2011

The last place we visited before heading North was Yed Vashem, the holocaust memorial. Almost as powerful as the first time I visited, and like then there just wasn't enough time to take it all in.

Most of the information is housed in this weird triangular prism.

Jerusalem quartered and layered.

6/4 - 6/10

I tried to get a bunch of representative shots of the old city we spent so much time wandering around. The Jewish quarter seems to have more new buildings up and has the massive square by the wall as a focal point. The Muslim quarter is vibrant, noisy and full of activity, with the off-limits to us golden dome as it's focus. The Christian quarter is completely deserted as apparently lots of rich Christians around the world have bought property there but rarely visit.
