Stones

Jerusalem is a city built out of stone that today has building codes that requires all new structures fit in with the city's stone motif. This means even the mini-mart at the gas station will have stone tiles on it. Looking back over my pictures I'm amazed how many are of different stone buildings, stone walls, stone streets.... in fact I think I'm well on my way to coming back home with a full digital rock collection.
Heres a picture of another part of the western wall (not the part people pray at) half of this wall was underground until archeologists dug it out in 1967. I was amazed in how good condition the road was.
2nd pic is of how they make the stone looking structures today (there really just tiles)
