The Sentinel

A man marches back and forth along the sides of the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City.

I never imagined that I would get a chance to tour and photograph Temple Mount but on my trip to Jerusalem last year, we were granted access. Only days before there were minor riots (the gear was sitting their along the entry walkway) but on that day, the authorities permitted visitors. The site was quite amazing – a large sprawling plaza with Al-Aqsa on one end and the beautiful Dome of the Rock on the other end.
