As Seen thru the Window of the Bus

A few photos taken from my seat on the bus...

Flowers on a balcony


A little out of focus.  I was trying to capture the boy's sidelocks

This bridge will carry the new train from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv

Another view of the bridge
Small apartment



A wall outside my window
A building on a side street
We drove past this gate a couple of times before I could get a decent photo.  It is a little difficult to see, but the sign on the gate reads "Oskar Schindler Grave".  If you don't know the history, or didn't see the movie, Oskar Schindler was a German industrialist, and member of the Nazi Party.  He was responsible for rescuing 1,200 Jews from an almost certain death in the Nazi concentration camps of World War II.  He was named "Righteous Among the Nations" by the Israeli government for his role in rescuing Jews during the holocaust.  His grave is on Mount Zion, the only Nazi to be honored this way.

An abandoned village on the side of a hill.  If those walls could talk!

Old and new

This mosque may have been in the city of Tur'An


Minarets on another mosque


A church at the end of the day

A window, somewhere along the road...
