“Jerusalem is a port city on the shore of eternity.”
~ Yehuda Amichai
To stand on the summit of the Mount of Olives as I first did so many years ago seeing this ancient city stretched out before you is one of the most inspiring views in the world. One takes in three millennia of history, beauty and pain. It is the soul of humanity. Spiritual home to three major religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Felix Bonfils is considered one of the most important figures in the development of photography in the Middle East. May this city’s magical light spread it’s glow for world peace in these troubled times and the new hopefully enlightened era to come.
