Description
When I visited Israel in November 2009, I loved exploring the picturesque streets in Jerusalem's Old City district.
Here is a peaceful scene in the Jewish Quarter during Shabbat, their day of rest. Normally, this passageway would be bustling with activity.
I took this photo on the way to pray at the Western Wall.
Throughout my pilgrimage in Israel, I felt safer than anywhere else I've lived or visited in the world. God's peace indeed permeates this special Land.
"Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem --
Jerusalem, built as a city joined together.
There the tribes go up,
the tribes of ADONAI --
as a testimony to Israel --
to praise the Name of ADONAI.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem --
'May those who love you be at peace!
May there be shalom within your walls --
quietness within your palaces.'"
~ Psalm 122:2-4,6-7, Tree of Life Bible (TLV)

Beautiful! I love the colors and textures here! Many, many problems that people experience would disappear, if only the obeyed the Lord's commandment to keep His Sabbath Day holy.

Revisiting this stunning streetscape photograph taken in the Old City of Jerusalem! Congratulations on being selected as Artist of the Week in the 1000 Views group. I admire your beautiful artwork, your elaborate and articulate photo descriptions, and how you are able to tie your photographs to beautiful biblical passages, many of which are read and studied by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. With your art, you often find a common link connecting us together, and praying for a peaceful world. Shalom!

Thank you very much, Bukunolami... Visiting Israel was truly the trip of a lifetime! On Shabbat, even the traffic on the streets is almost non-existent. They truly honor God's principles for rest and work. Blessings over your week.
