some pictures i took in palestine

here are some pictures i took in palestine mashaAllah. they're scanned from paper copies, so the quality is not perfect

MashaAllah! The quality of the photographs seem fine to me alhamdulillah. Your photographs are very interesting. I love love love the waterfall, where was that taken by the way? And the one below it has so much character to it esp. having both light and shade on the steps. Beautiful pics.

As Salamu Alaikum

Masha Allah these pictures look great.

Now I am inspired to buy one of these new digital cameras.

Jazakallahu Khairan sister for sharing.

jazakillah khir sisters! Mabsoota, the last three pictures are from old Jerusalem mashaAllah. there it's very easy to take beautiful photos. the colours of the photos have got a bit lighter because they're 9 years old.. i think it makes them look even better like that . i deceded to scan them anyway, because it looks like they're not forever. i developed them in palestine. i think the colours get light faster than the photos i developed here in finland.

the water fall is in Ein Gedi. it's an area with small mountains and waterfalls.. small ponds, some of them warm and some of them very cold. the place is near the dead sea. it's a nature reserve, with some wild animals etc.. mashaAllah a really beautiful place.i have many pics from there, but most of them have people in them ;)

zaza. all these pics are taken with a normal old film camera, canon prima . i don't have digi camera, only a phone cam. i'd also like to have a good (but simple) digi camera.

As Salamu Alaikum

It's being ages since I owned a camera.....had one of those old fashion instant ones.

During my last trip I took some photos with my husband's phone cam but I need to work on them to reduce the noise (blur) and size.

Insha Allah now is a good time as any to invest in one of those fancy digital ones.

Lovely photos mashaAllah sister queen. Is that the masjed Al-Aqsa?

I love the one with all of the steps - that looks very ancient mashaAllah.

I also like the way the dove was caught in mid flight in the last but one pic (it could be someone flying a kite even ).

salam

no sis, it's not al aqsa. it's al-jazzar masjed in acco, my husbands home town. it's the third biggest masjed in palestine after dome of the rock and al aqsa.

the dove.. i'm happy you saw it :D there was 5 doves sitting on that arch but they all disappeared while i was taking the pic. i was lucky to catch the last one flying away :D

Assalaamu alaikum,

Beautiful sister - they sure bring back memories subhan Allah. I visited Palestine many years ago... seems to many to count now. I travelled all over the country so visited most of the places in your photos. We started off in Jerusalem and then travelled south to Eid Gedi, Masada and other places, after that north to Capernaum, Sea of Galilea, Metulla almost and then west to Akko before spending a short time back in Jerusalem and then Tel Aviv. I was 18 yrs old and it was the best trip of my life. *sigh*

sounds like a trip of a life really mashaAllah. you've seem more than me i think.. i never got a chance to see masada, inshaAllah next time.. (inshaAllah there will be a next time ).

Barak Allahu Feek for sharing these with us.

Kindest regards,
