Palestine to Jordan







I just spent a week in the West Bank but I didn't even take any pictures since I was filming to make a fundraising reel for So Far Away So Close instead.

Here are some artsy shots of a great community development project benefiting a poor neighborhood on the hillside right in Amman, Jordan.

The blue sky one can see here and in Palestine strikes me as the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Maybe it is the contrast between the utter freshness of the color against the sand-colored buildings and threat of desert that lies beneath.
