Surf’s up in Jaffa – May 2013
The sun was setting beautifully on the shore, bringing a perfect ending to the 12 May 2013.

Looking towards Jerusalem – March 2013
I can just imagine and almost hear the hint of agony in Jesus’ voice addressing the magnificent city. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing” (Matthew 23:37).
