Jerusalem is a mecca where so many different religions intersect and in no way is this more apparent than the people. The old city is divided into pretty distinct quarters, the Armenian Quarter, Christian Quarter, Jewish Quarter and Muslim Quarter, each teeming with life and at times, fraught with tension. And each, attracting millions of religious pilgrims each year.

Makes for great people watching. Click through below as I people watch through all four quarters.

I completely fell in love with the little boys at the Western Wall who started hamming it up when they realized I was taking their pictures. The paper crowns that they’re wearing means they are being given their first prayer books during a ceremony at the Western Wall, among Judaism’s holiest of sites.
