    Wow. I could never capture this with my lack of skills. My flash would ruin it. It's gorgeous.

    I really like the lines, light and texture. It has a certain simplicity, but also a richness in the hand shaped walls and arch.

    I so enjoyed your travelwalk to Abu Ghosh. And I just knew as I read that there might be singing!
    As for this photo, it is 'divine.'
    Thanks for sharing and I hope to see you soon with the cider for a visit in the red chairs :O)

    What a beautiful shot. Almost like light at the beginning of a tunnel although I guess there isn't a tunnel behind the arch, the photo suggests that there could be.
