#dome of the rock

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is blessed by a religious Jewish man while posing for pictures with his guests during a meeting with a delegation of the Federation of Jews from Arab countries, at the Muqaata in Ramallah, West Bank, on March 28, 2016. The delegation met with Abbas in order to promote dialogue, good relations, and peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Photo by Hadas Parush/Flash90

Here is a photo collage I made in the run-up to Palestine’s bid for statehood at the UN :-)

Eid Mubarak to all my Muslim followers. Although my most holy place in Al Quds is like a few blocks away in the Holy Sepulcher, to celebrate I am posting pictures of the Masjid Qubbat AsSakhrah in the 90’s. 

The antropomorphic city of Jerusalem. All times occuring simultaneously.

The Dome of the rock, the head. Al-Aqsa, the shoulder.
Its left arm, the mount of olives and the crusaders approaching a city guarded by Saladin.
Its right arm, A man carrying a cross towards the future site where a church will be built.
The Wailing Wall its chest.
In a knee, the tower of David attacked by Nebuchadnezzar II.
In the other Titus sacking the second temple.
Moses and the Arch of the covenant entering the city through the Jaffa gate.

Graphite and digital color.
Part of an ongoing series about cities.
