A tua nota está verdadeiramente interessante porque, por exemplo, eu não sabia sobre esta "segregação" sexual no Muro das Lamentações. Gosto muito da tua foto. Acho que está muito bonita com a divisão em diagonal a mostral os fiéis em baixo e o muro em cima.

Hi Manuel,
I would love to visit this place. Must be kind of magical. I like your perspective of that place. A nice composition. Funny seeing the women on these chairs observing the men.

Hi Manuel, excellent depth of height you hve captured here. I like your perspective of this place as well as it is a good composition. A bit naughty for the woman to peaking a look at the men dont you think? Well done.

Hi Manuel,
this is a wonderful shot... yes, I particulary enjoyed that lover part of the picture, that you've mentioned in your note, behind the little wall the women looking to the men... That's amazing story telling picture. I like it very much!
Have a nice day,
Tomi

Hola Manuel.

Foto que rebosa historia. Sólo por eso, merece no dos sino 200 puntos.

Cómo me gustaría poder estar allí y ver algo así.

Qué envidia!

Hi Manuel!
This is a great photo, with a wonderful POV and very interesting composition. The subject itself is very interesting and you have managed to capture the atmosphere of the holy place. There is a small "but" and that's about the WB: I think that the photo "needs" a little bit more "warm" colours. Besides that a great job!

Best regards,
Hercules

Hi Manuel,
This is a great daily life shot. As you say the wailing wall is an image we are used to seeing on TV or in photos (including a number here on TE). There are two things in particular I like in this shot:
1) The sense of scale, the people look tiny next to the huge stone edifice;
2) The humour and 'voyeuristic' quality lent by the women straining to peer over the barrier.
Very good work
Peter

HI Manuel
A very interesting and unique shot which holds the viewer's interest for some time looking at the various people. There are strong diagonals in the composition and lots of textures visible in the wall. Nice work.
Best wishes

Olá Manuel,
esta imagen es muy interesante, nos muestra otra cultura y otra religión, que mantiene en este Muro sagrado la separación de hombres y mujeres en la plegaria.
Buen punto de vista y encuadre, correcta iluminación y colores naturales forman una buena composición. Hay un buen contraste entre las piedras del muro y las vestimentas blancas de los hombres en la parte baja de la foto.
Bien hecha.
Un saludo,
Josep

Hi Manuel,
You made a good point. Interesting different POV. It looked like a cafe terrace, but there's no tables. The wall has nice texture. Colour balance seems a bit bluish.

Very good capture Manuel. An interesting viewpoint not shown in photos or magazines on this place. I guess every good woman has to know what her man is doing over on the other side. This whole thing about seperating the males from the females is interesting. I recall some churched I have visited where all the men sit in one side and the ladies on the other. Perhaps some Bible reference to Jesus seperating the sheep from the goats! Who knows. If we have to live together why seperate like this? Tradition! Yes traditions that bind us to live in a way that hinders our lives by living inclosed in a system we want to feel safe in. Oh I could go on and on with this subject..but I will stop there.
Of interesting note is the stain line on the wall from human contact. Above the human contact height is the totall lighter and differnt color of stone. Good shot!

Hola hermano

Que tal todo??? Realmente interesante y llena de emociones. Parece increible la devocion que se puede llegar a alcanzar por unas creencias, yo no soy muy religioso pero valora el esfuerzo que a veces implica la devocion.
Una gran imagen muy apropiada para TE.
Saludos

Hi Manuel, I like your short version of the story of the Temple(s). Yes I like to read those books of the Bible. And the others too.
And for you to show us the women, segregated like this, wayching the men over the wall, it is a great capture! Good job!
Janice

TheG1 / Amir's comments are correct. This is the outer wall surrounding the Temple.

Bela foto Manuel, gostei da sua nota histórica. Não sei se teria coragem de visitar um país do oriente médio, a guerra por lá me afasta desses países, apesar da riqueza histórica que eles possuem.

A perspetiva está ótima, talvez cortaria um pouco o topo do muro...

Abraço

Bonsoir Manuel,

Beau cadrage du mur des lamentations, site incontournable de Jérusalem.
Il y avait foule ce jour-là.
La luminosité et la netteté du cliché mettent bien en valeur les détails du site.
Beau travail.

Olá Manuel,
Boa foto bem acompanhada 'à guitarra' pela tua nota que realemente nos explica bem aquilo que vemos. É caso para dizer que até para se lamentar é preciso ter sorte :)
É uma foto que serviria perfeitamente para uma foto reportagem, bem composta e com bons detalhes.
Um abraço.

Hola Manuel.
Muy interesante fotografía, primera vez que veo una separación de las mujeres de los hombres frente al Muro Sagrado. Generalmente solo vemos los hombres en plegaria frente al Muro. Esta foto es muy valiosa y creo que mas que decirte que la tomaste desde un buen ángulo, buenos colores,,etc, etc. lo que vale aquí es lo que estamos viendo, no sabia que esta separación existía. Muy buena nota explicativa. Gracias.
Abrazos.

Olá Manuel, de facto está bem apanhado esta cena das mulheres empoleiradas em cima das cadeiras, a espreitar para os homens do outro lado. Gosto da composição vertical, com a parede a ocupar a maior parte da imagem.
Um abraço amigo,

In fact, the world did not surrender to too great changes from times of the King Salomon. The tower of Babel is today more powerful than any time. the nicely spied scene, the very good photo about the character not only to generic. The very good realization: the excellent sharpness, the depth of the sharpness, colours and lights.

La ferveur est bien présente.

Good shot from the wall not least the inclusion of the divider between males - females.
Unfortunately there still excist religions that differ the value between men and women - too bad.

A lovely and funny moment captured here, Manuel. As I lived in Jerusalem, I have seen this place plenty of times in real life, not on TV, but I still never saw women doing such things there instead of praying, lol. Very human shot:)

Hi Manuel,

what I like is your goal here. You could have very well done the more conventional thing, cut the bottom and shown the usual Jeruslam/Wailing wall scene. And it would have had a nice but rehashed scene. I have not scene the segragation before, its not surprising but what is surprisong is the activity on the women's side. They are not praying.

Hola Manuel:
Bueno como dice un miembro en su opinion, nunca vi tampoco la separacion de mujeres y hombres frente al muro, pero no estoy seguro de eso, no tengo la imagen en original para poder hacer un mayor analisis, ahora me gusta ver la repeticion de las piedras continuado con las personas, o las personas continuan en las piedras, creo que es lo mas llamativo quizas es bueno ver como entre tantos colores blanco y grises aparece dos personas amarillo y rojo, saludos y espero interese mi comentario.
P.D.: Entre los arbustos hay 4 puntos, que marca una cruz.

"The women on the chairs".
You right, Manuel. Thousands of TV reports, gazillions of pictures and this is the first time I see this side of the amazing place.
Bravo man, you just saved the honor and principles of our site.
Killer stuff.

• javierdenavea (602)

Hola Manuel, la foto es impresionante de por sí, pero el detalle de la separación de hombres y mujeres le da un valor documental que me gusta mucho. Creo que se podría mejorar un poco el color conun post-procesado, porque los trajes blancos han quedado algo azulados, quizás por el azul reflejado del cielo. De todos modos sigue siendo muy buena.
Saludos,
Javier

Though I am not that surprised by this 'other wall' (the one separating women from men), it's true that we don't have usually that view! And that's the value of it. To show us that part of the story. If I wanted to be ironic, I would call it the second wailing wall... You know, for me that kind of separation is not always easy to bear...
Good job from you, Manuel, to bring us that little pearl!

Sorry for not being there as you offer a great serie of Travel photos... I had a difficult choice as I cannot comment and compliment each one...
This is a very good vertical one on an attractive subject.. The crowd is furnished in front of the celeb wall (well pictured) and you cactc a good action with those in contact with the stones, and thosde awaiting or curious like these looking over the "palissade".

Indeed, no I don't get to see this photo. A photo perfectly suited for TrekEarth showing me a place that I have never been, but hopefully I one day can. Very interesting showing the tall wall, with the men and women separated.

Just excellent.
