Description
Jerusalem a city of more than 3000 years old.

Jerusalem a city of complexity - of history - of violence and of peace - of struggle and of coexistence - a city that three of the world religions have their origins here.

The shot here is of the Al Aqsa Mosque and not of the Dome of the Rock...The song by Naomi Shemer refers to the golden dome of the Dome of the Rock. The golden shot is of the early morning light hitting the mosque dome.

JERUSALEM OF GOLD by Naomi Shemer

The mountain air is clear as water
The scent of pines around
Is carried on the breeze of twilight,
And tinkling bells resound.

The trees and stones there softly slumber,
A dream enfolds them all.
So solitary lies the city,
And at its heart -- a wall.

Oh, Jerusalem of gold, and of light and of
bronze,
I am the lute for all your songs.
