Luckily, one evening as the sun was setting, I was able to capture this amazing sky. While my wife and I were in the Old City in Jerusalem, this was the only evening that had these amazing colors, clouds to reflect them, etc. This is not an HDR shot. All original. I did de-noise the sky as it was a little noisy. Well, I hope you enjoy it. I look forward to your comments.....For those of you that don’t know what this is. This is the Wailing Wall or Kotel within the Old City in Jerusalem, Israel. Above the wall is the Temple Mount.

Jerusalem

Destroyed and rebuilt over thousands of years, Jerusalem's spiritual magnetism endures. With interlacing histories, clashing cultures and constant reinvention, the city is an intense, multisensory experience.
