A couple of notes on the pics:

In the second one (Old City Walls), the white dome that is seen is the "Hurva" Beit Knesset in the Jewish Quarter (actually, I don't want to call it "hurva" 'cause I don't want it "ruined" again).

The picture marked "Lutheran Church" is actually the Franciscan Church in the Christian Quarter. The Lutheran Church tower is all white.

Thanks.

Do you know the name of the swimmer in the pool?
