Dearest friends,

It has been ages since my last posting... so much so that I feel a stranger all over again to the intricate nuances of routinely conversing with you in this manner. Be this as it may, herein are the first bold steps to getting Jerusalem Daily Photo back on the road to actualizing its potential.

Jerusalem has also been out of her daily routine now for the past month or so - plenty of time to discard our daily distractions and get a feel for the culture of our city. I can't quite remember which came first, the on-set of the Jewish high holy days or the start of the holy month of Ramadan - either way very few of the city's residents had an occasion to escape the soul searching that characterizes this time of year.

This photo was taken when the bike's owner disappeared to attend to some urgent merry making round the corner...
