What does it look like in Palestine?

So, it looks a bit like that, at least from above. I'll get to the ground-level stuff eventually, I promise, but there's a lot of photos out there of the wall and the checkpoints and the oppression, so why not feature some of the beauty and peace.

Also, between the church bells, the call to prayer and the endless honking, it's a real cacophonous game of who's louder most of the time. At least it's no Senegal (where on Fridays, the imams or whoever ran the mosque sound system would get on the loudspeaker and mutter 'elhamdulilah' for hours.on.end.)

Oh my Lord what a nightmare that was. Wildly amplified muttering is weirdly creepy. Totally creepy.
