Jerusalem: A Pictorial

 

 

 

 

Jerusalem. 11.24.2011

The only way to describe Jerusalem is to see the city.

While visiting Israel for Tel Aviv Fashion Week, I had the opportunity to visit Jerusalem along with the other international journalists invited there to cover the event. It's an area of the world that always seemed fascinating, but hadn't topped my list of places to visit - until now. And on Thanksgiving Day in America, it seemed almost surreal and an incredibly fitting day to be there. What I found was a city steeped in history, yet poised for modernity with its architecure, spiritual views and yes, fashion. While walking through its ancient streets, I discovered its treasures. Here are images from the day including views of the Jerusalem rooftops, the Arab shuk, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Jewish Quarter, the Wailing Wall and the Mamilla Hotel and Shopping Center. More images after the break.

I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Oriahn! Thanks so much, Im glad you enjoyed my photos. (nice coverage of TAFW on you blog btw!) Jerusalem was amazing. It was really beautiful to see the ancient streets merging with the modern architecture and art. And to visit its churches and experience the holiest of cities. The only problem was time. I needed more of it!  Jerusalem is definitely on my list of cities to visit again. And yes, I made it to Massada and the Dead Sea! Floated, covered myself in black mud. Pictures soon!!  xo

Your pictures are beautiful and it looked like you had an amazing time. It's funny that I live here and don't really find an opportunity to go. Did you end up visiting the Dead Sea as well?
