Originally built by the mother of Emperor Constantine in 330 A.D., the Church of the Holy Sepulcher commemorates the hill of crucifixion and the tomb of Christ's burial. According to Catholic and Greek Orhtodox tradition, this church is the best candidate for the location of these events.

    Thanks guys!

    Skippy, the kids there, and I, were watching an Armenian ceremony honoring St. Mathew at the church entrance.

    Andy, I was sure #1 would do it for you (the motion...)

    Thanks again!

    Shalom Nir...


    Great to see you back and to see your wonderful works on display again. I love the third photo with the children. Excellent decisive moment capture.
    The fuzzy character presents an "ominous" figure to the children in the background.

    Love the light you had Nir. #2 says a lot in a shot.

    We dont have a building over 180-200 years old here.

    Thank you guys! Really appreciate your comments!

    Gus, "light"?! Almost none - the shots inside were ISO1600 and 3200 handheld.

    Eric, Spain was terrific! I have a few up HERE. How is the extended family doing?

    Hmm...i'll say it this way. Love the 'low' light you had. I just hate bright photos.
