Cold weekend in Jerusalem

We spend a weekend in Jerusalem - city I always feel like a tourist in it. One hour of driving from Tel Aviv - and everything is changing - the landscape, the architecture, the people and even the air (freezing!).
I love the variety of this city, the sense of many layers of history and holy spirit that hover over it.
One of my "must" places to visit and sketch is Mahane Yehuda market - big and vibrant area full of vendors and food stalls. I love to sit on the bar of one of the coffee shops, observing the human ocean moving all the time, trying to absorb the movement, sounds and smells and put it all on paper.

 here is another sketch did there few month earlier:

Here is my attempt to capture the view from the window - one hour of meditation, watching how everything is changing during the sunset...

 At the evening we went to the Yellow Submarine, great place to see some music performances:

And the next morning, before leaving, we had a breakfast in Tmol Shilshom - my favorite coffee shop in Jerusalem, place that is also a bookshop, which is always filled by interesting people.

 I love you, Jerusalem! Until the next time!
