Jerusalem Skyline is a book of aerial
photographs of Jerusalem,
which casts a different and unique
perspective on the city and
its surroundings.
Here is a view from a different angle of the
old and the new,
of ancient and old Jerusalem alongside the
new Jerusalem which is
being constructed right now.
Encounters of different panoramas,
architectural styles and historical
periods, in the various seasons of the year, a
blend of summer
with the snow, which fell last year.

We peek into the different neighborhoods and observe the roofs, squares,
streets and gardens, along with the numerous historical buildings
which beautify the city.
We have the opportunity to search for new ways of categorizing
the city, a city which, one might have thought, has been categorized
in every possible way - but yet, as is always the case with Jerusalem,
we are always surprised to find a new, unique and breathtaking
way of seeing it.
The sections of the book are named after the gates to the old city,
as well as Sha'ar Ha-Gai (literally "The Gate - or Way - of the Valley" -
the pass which leads from the coastal plain to Jerusalem),
and the Closing Gate.
In each chapter, the gate itself serves as the starting - and ending - point
of a particular excursion, geographically as well as associative
streets and gardens, along with the numerous historical buildings
which beautify the city.
