Israel Trip - Feb 2013 - Part 2

This is us at the top of Masada

At the top station of the cable car, at the top of Masada but still below sea level

The view from the top.  The Dead Sea is in the distance.  The square in the middle of the picture is an excavated Roman camp

I didn't buy it, but I found this at the Masada gift shop

Back in Jerusalem, this is a reconstruction of the city of Jerusalem including the temple at the time of Christ

Jaffa Gate

An olive tree growing out of the wall of Jerusalem

View from the top of the Mount of Olives across the Kidron Valley to the Temple Mount.  The golden dome is the Dome of the Rock, built on the Temple Mount

An olive grove at a proposed place of the Garden of Gethsemene

Two Lion of Judah's at the Lion Gate
