Jerusalem Light Festival - part two

We went to the Kotel earlier in the day, and completed some important tasks.

I wanted to go on the Green route of the light festival, because that route tracks on the outside of the old city wall from the Jaffa Gate to the Damascus Gate.  I so wanted to walk in safety in that area, and even at night.  And what a treat it was!

I have about fifty different photos of these amazing projections.  It was great seeing a Star of David and Israeli flag on the Damascus Gate!  Oh, what the heck, here's another.

But there was more.  The last stop was inside Solomon's Quarries/Zedekiah's Cave, an underground historic site.  Too cool.

The light show was strobes which caused optical illusions without 3-D glasses.  The static photos don't capture it, but the video did.


Then, we got on the Jerusalem light rail, walked right onto the #405 to Tel Aviv, and caught a non-lions-and-tigers-and-bears bus back to the apartment.  Tel Aviv was a great place to get home to from the Light Festival.
