Location
Visiting Jerusalem, I went to the Western Wall which is the only section of the temple remaining from King Herod's time. 2000 years ago this was the place where the Jewish priests worshipped G-d. Jesus would have also walked by this limestone wall. The Orthodox Jew and his twin sons look out over the large pavement in front of the wall.Time

I found the visit totally captivating as this is such a holy site for Jews, Christians and Muslims. In many ways it represents the very centre and focal point of these three great monotheistic religions. I saw faith in the eyes of so many people as I prayed for peace.Editing

Head for Jerusalem during a gentle sandstorm, it tales away the harsh shadows.
