I was there some years ago. It's really a magical place, for all of us. The Mosque has so many vivid colours! The city itself is the center of the world .Thanks

Thank you for your comments. Maybe it is good to tell you that all pictures are taken with proper authorisation, so nothing done in secret.

As non-Muslims we were lucky and got repeated requests to take as many pictures as wanted. Unfortunately there was no sunlight in Jerusalem and all lovely shadows are missing. Also inside the both mosques I had huge difficulties: not nice with flash and not enough light without. My Canon G9 was just not enough.

This is a rarely seen side of Jerusalem, at least here in Tabblos most pictures are from the other sides of the old city.

Thank you so much for sharing this tabblo and the stunning beauty of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. There is so much to celebrate in the Arab and Islamic cultures. This is a favourite for me!
