I’ve always wanted to take this picture. The fact of being completely alone somewhere in the desert really amazes me. Some day I will try to do a real roadtrip.. a car, friends, music, summer and the desert. It just has to be great.

a heartbreakingly horrible place.

I haven’t been writing simply because of the lack of time. I would like to tell you about all the insane things that have happened but I don’t think I will give you much more than a supershort summary and then let some pictures tell you more.. this week I’ve partied in Haifa, been to Ramallah and other places around Palestine where I among other things somehow managed to crash another conference. Beside that I’ve been shot at with teargas, drinking a lot of amazing coffee, walking around Jerusalem by night, showering in waterfalls and floating around in the very salty dead sea.

This country is without any doubt the country of crazy coincidences, and I will write this more than once.

So, as always, a few pictures:

..

The morning after we got up really early (that’s about nine o’clock..haha) and went out for the two silent minutes for the victims of the holocaust. There was an alarm, everything freezed, people were standing still and cars stopped..

We headed to the old city again and went to see the highlights that we had saved for the day. We headed up to the roof of the Austrian Hospice where the view was great, then we did the Via Dolorosa, visiting the beautiful gardens of the Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock and continued to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre that is said to mark the spot where Jesus was crucified and buried..
