Festival of Lights

The summer holidays have begun with the fantastic annual Festival of Lights. Following this is the Formula One race (goodness knows how the cars can race through the tiny streets of Jerusalem) and a host of many other events.

The crowds in and around the Old City are growing each night, coming to see the Lights. Here are some pics of the exhibits
