Over the last two months, I've built up quite a few photos that haven't fitted in with any one particular post, but still show an important part of my time in Nablus. So, I thought I'd put them all together into two or three posts.
Here they are.
 |
| GETTING READY TO CYCLE TO BETLID (To go olive picking. I took a taxi.) |
 |
| GIRLS AT ASKAR MIXED SCHOOL (One Saturday morning, while I was waiting for my English class to show up, these three kept me entertained by singing me the Palestinian equivalant of Sunday School songs.) |
 |
| POSTER IN ASKAR MIXED SCHOOL (I liked this.) |
 |
| THE ARAB WORLD (In Askar Mixed School.) |
 |
| FAMILIAR FACE FROM BACK HOME (Sign outside local pool hall.) |
 |
| UNPICKED OLIVES (They didn't stay unpicked for long, let me tell ye.) |
 |
| MY FAVOURITE OLIVE TREE (I named her Miriam. She was even more beautiful on the inside.) |
 |
| DOWN THE ROAD FROM PROJECT HOPE (A school footbal pitch is the other side of the wall.) |
 |
| THE SITE OF AN OLD SOAP FACTORY (In the Old City. Nablus was, and still is, famous for its soap. This was the site of one of the oldest factories in the city. Israeli forces destroyed it during the Second Intifada, apparently killing a number of Palestinians at the same time.) |
 |
| SCULPTURE IN A LOCAL PARK (This photo doesn't do it justice.) |
To be continued....
