Palestine in a Frame

Palestine is hard to capture in words, therefore this attempt to put it in a frame. Down here you'll get to see an impression of what Palestine is, for me, through my eyes and my camera's lense.















* Olive tree in the Palestinian village of Yanoon, under constant attack by settlers.
* A Banksy graffiti on the separation wall in Bethlehem.
* Raw meat everywhere in the lively souq of Nablus.
* Haram as-Sharif, or Temple Mount, with the Wailing Wall in front of it.
* Random juice stand operated by bedouin men in the desert near Jericho.
* Rent-a-cross business in Jerusalem: Play Jesus for a day.
* Waiting for a closed gate at Qalandia checkpoint.
* The girlschool of refugee camp Al Ein in Nablus.
* A taxi driver being stopped and questioned at Huwarra checkpoint near Nablus.
* Toy assault rifles for sale in Nablus.
* Having dinner 'villagers' style in the village of Beita, south of Nablus.
* Camel rides at the martyr's circle in the centre of Nablus.
* Palestinian children in the old city of Nablus.
