Photos without Faces

B"H

It is well known that there are some Haredim putting "white spots" on every face in a picture. Usually mostly on women's faces but see a new form of "modest" photos below.

I am just asking myself why the two pictures where taken at all when no one is showing his face.:-)

It is said that those photos were made in the Batei Ungarin in Mea Shearim / Jerusalem.

Around the Western Wall (Kotel)

Square in front of the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem.

The women's side at the Western Wall. On the left side, you see the men praying and in the middle is the Mechitzah (gender separation).

In the back: This is not the Dome of the Rock but the Al Aksa Mosque.

Not such a great quality: View to Al Aksa Moschee (on the Temple Mount) from the Archeology Parknext to the Kotel.

View down to the "City of King David" in the middle of the Arab village Silwan (only a few meters away for the Western Wall).
