Eyes on me


I don't know who he is but his stare scares me.

My kind of pilgrim


Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine/Israel. We've come a long way, we will go even further.

Why so serious?



There definitely are a lot of reasons to be concerned.

Making faces


They all look quite happy. Except that dude who is trying to duck from the photo.

Light at the end


There is alway light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes also something else. Let's not lose hope.

Riot


This guy did not seem to be too bothered by the threat hanging over him.

Fishy business


Something smells fishy in this stand in Mahane Yehuda.

Of the prophets


























I can only guess the nature of this text somebody had burnt at the Mount of Olives.

A wall separating from the massacre





Thumb of the Patriarchs / Ibrahim Mosque, holy for both but deadly only on the other side.

H1 - H2 wall


The separation wall in Hebron is small but effective.


Freedom walls






I don't know what the last one says, but I bet it's not something the Israeli settlers in Hebron would appreciate.













Let us learn



Kids still play and go to school in Hebron. There is still hope.

Conflict on wheels


This car was parked in front of Beit HaShisha settlement in H2 of Hebron. The decorations are interesting - to say the least.

Watching you watching us


I bet they kept a close eye on us from all the Israeli watchtowers, which there are plenty in H2 area in Hebron.

Shuhada street




Palestinians are barred from using Shuhada street, Hebron's former main commercial thoroughfare. Even if they live on it

On top of the conflict




From the rooftop of our local friend from Hebron one can see it all: H1 , H2 and Kiryat Arba. We drank coffee and felt sad.

Special stuff




One can find curious things from Mahane Yehuda.

For good or better


Some prefer to stay positive.



Life of riley / kissanpäivät




For my last week in Amman I was cat sitting and life was quite easygoing. In Finnish it could be described as kissanpäivät.

Sugarcoated




Sugar rushing through Mahane Yehuda Market in Jerusalem. I guess there's no harm in trying to sweeten things up a little.

One frame, many views



Jerusalem, definitely one of the most controversial cities in the world.
