Jerusalem from high up
Originally uploaded by bastchild.
The gilded dome of the Haram ash Sharif, or Dome of the Rock, marks the site where God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son and where the Prophet Mohammed ascended to Heaven. It is also next to the site of the Temple of Solomon and the second temple. It is the western retaining wall of the second temple that is the famed Western or Wailing wall, that is a holy site in Judaism.
