, where clergy and pilgrims line the roof of the ancient church, on 06 January 2008 in the West Bank town of Bethlehem.<br />\r\n+++++++++++++++<br />\r\nThe glasses and the gun caught my eye as I hurried towards the church following the procession and being pushed by other security people surrounding the Greek Patriarch. I had a flash mounted on the camera, turned it on and did a quick exposure on the sky and shot with fill-flash. Palestinian police will be out in force, and have rounded up many Hamas suporters in the West Bank,ahead of George Bush\'s visit in a few days. Also, the al-Qaeda threat to kill Bush when he visits will certainly increase security and decrease photo-opportunities for all except the "traveling press."',700,700);)

, which the non-Moslem world calls the Temple Mount, in Jerusalem on 06 January 2008. The status of Jerusalem and who maintains the security of the holy sites for the world three monotheistic religions is one of the \'core issues\' facing the Israeli and Palestinian post-Annapolis negotiations, as US President George Bush arrives in several days.

 on the southern outskirts of Jerusalem on 26 December 2007. Land excavated from the large community is being dumped on its outskirts to fill up a valley, for additional Israeli building. Israel is planning to build some 700 new housing units here, which has been criticized by the US and many Arab states, who consider the community a West Bank settlement, while Palestinians say it will damage the post-Annapolis peace talks.

![](javascript:doblowup('Rainbow Warrior','/images/uploaded/up_VPrN5b.jpg','I know, lousy title for a photo, but it\'s hard to keep coming up with names for photographs, but I must as my program asks for it. Got to get someone to rewrite this bit of the webscape...it\'s a bit annoying. A photograph should speak for itself, to a certain extent. Being "news" photos I have to write captions and those must be accurate and free from bias or editorial content. I hope I\'ve been true to this for the past years.... there are now hundreds and hundreds of photographs posted, and hope there are some people (admirers) out there who have looked through them. <br />\r\nThis shows a severely wounded Israeli being rushed to a helicopter where a rainbow shows behind the field, just after a brief downpour along the Gaza Strip border, near Kibbutz Kissufim. My shadow is projected onto the muddy field. Israeli soldiers were battling Palestinian militants in a refugee camp some two kilometers away and the battle was clearly heard for several hours.<br />\r\n++++++++++++++++++++<br />\r\nHoping everyone out there in \'Blogland\' - whatever that is and wherever it is far and wide, that 2008 is a year of PEACE and good health. Enjoy! as my Dad is very fond of saying',700,700);)
