Yerushalayim anamolies

In the Old City of Jerusalem, there are cars. And I know I've seen air conditioning units. But the satellite dish against the backdrop of old stones, just seemed even more out of place.

They've refurbished the area immediately north of the Kotel plaza, including lining several walls with finished wood bookcases. The bookcases also looked out of place a bit. (The books are blurry, I think, because the camera likely focused on the section of ark in the foreground. I probably should read up on aperture control.)

Among the mostly Hebrew religious books (and some Hebrew/English books) was this. A Torah (or Bible) in Amharic.
