Hi!
that's a very nicely composed, classical-looking photograph. But with such a
title I would like to know more. Where precisely is it? What well-known
Biblical episodes were enacted there? What is its recent history? What is
the building?
Ok, so here goes:
There is a Trappist Monastery called Latroun roughly on the halfway
between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Just before the main road starts
ascending the Jerusalem hills sits the monastery. Beyond the trees there
is a road and across that road lies the Mini Israel park (Jostein should
remember it) and Israeli Armed Corps museum. The shot is made just from
the entry to the main church of the monastery. As for the history - the
best thing to do is to google Latroun Monastery. My history knowledge is
very weak...
Hopefully I answered at least some of the questions.
Boris
