In August 2016 issue of JetWings International, my image from Wailing Wall, Jerusalem appeared in their regular BW section – Radar. The text was by editorial team from JetWings International.

Conversations with God

Conversations with God. Old City, Jerusalem

A holy place for Jews, the Kotel HaMa’aravi or Western Wall located in the Old City of Jerusalem is a 187-foot-high section of limestone wall— a remnant of the Temple Mount complex, built by Herod the Great, which was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE. Devotees come here to pray, lament the loss of their temple and also pour their hearts out to God; these conversations with divine powers are sometimes so heartfelt that it is often referred to as the ‘Wailing Wall’.

📷 Photographer’s Note

Something in this post caught your eye — a slant of light, a detail the guidebook skipped, a piece of history that sits differently now that you have seen it through a lens. Good. That is exactly what these posts are for.

This site is part of a larger body of work: over 110 UNESCO World Heritage Sites photographed across 40+ countries, with the same approach — the history, the light, the politics, and what most visitors walk past without noticing. I have put the India coverage together in two dedicated guides. If you want more of this, start there.
