Description
This charracter cracked me up. I have no idea what he was, but in a place of worship, where people were praying loudly or quietly, and others stood around in awe of the scenery, he was yelling and screaming in Arabic into his cell phone, wandering agitatedly back and forth, right up to the final access to the Wall, but never entered the area. He was being studiously ignored by all, even by the guards. It worked, he finally packed it in and marched out of there.

Fantastic trio of images and a fantastic glimpse into a mode of life that I only read and hear about! I love the details you've captured, the sense of vibrancy, color, and well...life! Great work. As for the character with the cell phone, it would have probably been interesting to experience that in person! Luckily you were able to capture some element of him, and in many ways, he's colorful even just looking at him! On another note, I love the anthropological elements of your work here. Not only is it well presented and captured, but it is a window into a world that definitely has influences (past and present) on the world many of us take for granted due to the fact the we think we know it so well. Great work in that respect also.

Your photographs have made me adjust my mental image of this wall a bit. Thank you for this different perspective! I'm struck by the dark stripe along the wall - millions of hands over hundreds of years. Fascinating.

A wonderful scenery you have captured here! Behind the wall not far away is the famous Omar mosque with the golden roof and just beside the smaler one with the silver roof! Beautiful really!

I wonder if that screaming dude with he mobile is a therapist ?...er, I mean pantomime performer ? I guess I'd be wailing, if my wall which I just built, sprouted shrubs and plants ! I guess you can tell I'm not religious, but very interesting captures ! ~Cheers~ :o)
