Helicopters are fun


I'm a big fan.

Only been in one a few times but the ride is the jumbliest craziest time.

Ordinary places look different from up there. Mostly a lot cooler than they look from down here.

Just some trees and some dirt.

Click on it.

Jerusalem Shuk


Nothing quite like it in the modern world.

Hard to describe the feel of walking on the uneven concrete, often wet. Harder yet to describe the feel in the air --one of many years gone past.

The smells vary. some not so good.

And the people vary. Arabs, Jews, girls, boys, military.
Often jovial-sometimes a frightening place if you know better.

It's the shortest path to the Kotel--the Western Wall. A busy place where you can find yourself very alone very quickly.

Click on it and you'll see the wetness and the snow. So very rare and precious.

Ahh, Jerusalem.
