View of Jerusalem
The Dome of the Rock in the background and the Al Aqsa Mosque to the left of it. The view appears to be looking south near the Laklak tower. If that is so, then the new white brickwork in the foreground will be the Rockefeller Museum so the photographer somehow got on the roof to take the picture.
