These are pictures taken while exploring the Mount of Olives (where I live), which is east of the Old City. They were taken at different occasions.

| Taken from inside the Grotto at Gethsemane. The Grotto is a real Gethsemane, which literally means "oil press". Austen didn't know he was modeling for me. |
