JERUSALEM

A postcard which obviously from the photos has sufferred a lot during the long journey. Just like Jerusalem itself. :)

JERUSALEM

Another set of postcards from Jerusalem

JERUSALEM - Western "Wailing" Wall

It's a strange feeling being there at the very place which has caused people from different religions to fight against each other. Just a piece of land which will always remain after each of us. Isn't it ironic that a sacred place for so many should cause so much hatred and fight? And still attract worshippers or tourists like me. 

These were some of the thoughts I had while being down there, after the checkpoints with scanners, seeing worshipers in army attire with guns hanging and worship towels and hats on their heads. 

Postcards should bring good memories though. I've always tried to stay aside from politics when discussing postcards, swaps.. Maybe it's good to stop here and just enjoy this picture below.

JERUSALEM old town and walls

The old town of Jerusalem has been declared a UNESCO site since 1981 under the region "Jerusalem District" after a proposal by Jordan in 1975. Thanks, Joao for the comment - noted. :)
At the same time this city is on the tentative list of Israel. I guess this won't be declared a site of Israel any time soon.
Despite this fact there is no need to say why it's a remarkable place. I visited it in 2010, but now thanks to Postcrossing I manage to get postcards from it.
I'm not sure even how to tag this post. Leaving it with a tag "Jerusalem" by the suggestion of Joao.
