Day 2: Jerusalem -- a Dry Heat

In advance of a film screening this evening, I spent the early part of the day kicking around Jerusalem’s Old City. I don’t have much to report yet, but I’ll share a couple of photos.

Thanks are due to Lyle King, Kevin Andrews, and their team in Champlain’s Media Services department. They’ve outfitted me with enough media gear to produce any number of PBS documentaries on Jerusalem. I’ll try to post some multimedia work to this blog, but I can’t make any guarantees. I haven’t taken any courses with Karen Klove, so giving me a video camera and such is like giving a monkey a gun.

On a Friday, this is closest I, a non-Muslim, could get to the Dome of the Rock (al-Haram al-Sharif):

Here's the Jerusalem Cinematheque (the orange umbrellas, if you can spot them), a spectacular place to see a movie:
