Ammanized: September 2012

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

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

There definitely are a lot of reasons to be concerned.

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

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

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

Something smells fishy in this stand in Mahane Yehuda.

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

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

The separation wall in Hebron is small but effective.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

One can find curious things from Mahane Yehuda.

Some prefer to stay positive.

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

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

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