Livnot, the Old City, new niches

Always good to have a friend visit from out of town. I found new niches that I didn't even know existed in the Old City (The Fig Tree Courtyard), and got to take some pics of this lovely place.

My light meter is failing, so I guess it will be a good excuse to get a new camera sometime soon.

Livnot U'lehibanot. I used to sit on a pile of rubble at night under the stars... now it's clear that it was on top of these relics from the 1600's.

Relics from the Kahal at Livnot's dig. Now a National Heritage site.
