Jerusalem

From December 2022 to January 2023 I was on a youth exchange and concert tour with the Offbeat Orchestra, in which I played Trumpet during that time. Of course, I used the chance to snap a few pictures with my trusty camera.

I am still actively working on the website. So expect more pictures to be added soon.

A stone garden surrounded by southern palm-like looking plants. The ground is made up of a mix of red and grey rocks. Some clay pots are intentionally placed, so that is looks like white rocks are spilling out of them. — **Ein Kerem - Church of the Visitation**
