    This is one photo I'd like to see hanging on my wall. I'm gonna print it and see if I like it afterwards *s*. I feel it's one of my best renderings to date. What say you? Critique needed here. Say what you think, please. Would you change anything? Does it talk to you? Thanks *s*.

    While I was working on it, all of a sudden this Hebrew song came to mind... "Light and Jerusalem" is its name, and I was shocked to realize how much it described this photo.

    Here's an excerpt from the song "Light and Jerusalem" by Yosef Sarig. I tried to translate it the best I can... I think those words are perfect for my photo *s*.

    "Light and Jerusalem" / Hebrew words: Yosef Sarig

    Quietness falls again from evening skies
    Like falcon soaring over the abyss
    And red sun kisses, like glowing sword,
    The peaks, the towers and the old walls.

    I saw a city wrapped in light
    She rose, enveloped with rainbow colors
    She played within me like an harp
    I saw a city embraced with light.

    And if you feel like listening to the music, here's Light and Jerusalem on YouTube.

      I would like a copy of this for my home. How do I obtain a copy? I've been to Jerusalem twice and love this fascinating city. We recently blessed our new home with water from the Jordan River.
