Contemplating ...
Looked at these over and over contemplating how the 'Jesus Walk' would have 'moved' me along with all the other significant religious sites -- everything looks so tidy and clean -- remarkable after all the years! Passed up a 'Holy Land' tour with the church some years back and am now 'black and blue' from kicking myself. Thanks so much for at least a vicarious pleasure through your lens Pamela -- Lucille
