So we got back from Israel about 10 days ago with 2500 pictures between 2 of us. I culled that down to about 1000 and have done basic processing on all of those, and I'm now sorting through the general mess to find the gems. There are several themes that seem to have come through, not least being the human cost of living out there in present conditions.
This first image was taken in the new town of Jericho. It's a sprawling concrete accretion that fills the valley close to where the famous city was. We stopped there for lunch and 2 boys appeared by the restaurant door, the bigger one carrying a sheep and asking for a dollar to be photographed. After we'd eaten the younger one was still around, but nervous about our being there, and wanted to see what was going on without putting himself out there in danger.

This second shot was taken in Jerusalem. I'd noticed that mothers were often quite protective of their sons when western tourists were around, and this boy's mother saw us in the distance and quickly grabbed him & got him into the house. While I could have zoomed in tight, I wanted this to be more situational to give a feel for surroundings.
