Presentation Transcript

  1. Zion Gate – snow falling

  2. From Mt. of Olives The 80,000 tombs on the Mt. of Olives make a decorative foreground.  The snow here lasts longer than other places, because of the lack of traffic. 

  3. The top of the Mount of Olives under a foot of snow. Jerusalem gets a major snowstorm on an average of once every 7 years

  4. Snow clings to the dome of the Muslim shrine and to the rooftops of the Old City in the background. 

  5. Garden of Gethsemane The Church of All Nations and the Russian Orthodox Church of Mary Magdalene stand out on the Mt. of Olives.  In 1911 Jerusalem had 11 straight days of snowfall.

  6. Kidron Valley

  7. the western wall of the Old City with the Citadel of David jutting into the sky.  This snowstorm caused flights coming in and out of the international airport in Tel Aviv to be delayed or diverted. 

  8. Western Wall The snow fell rather continuously on the first night and day.  A break provided the opportunity for a unique photo when almost no one was praying at the Western Wall.
