Dear Yair, this album is amazing. I can't believe you have showen to us a town, where Jesus Christ was living at one period of his life, where he walked, talked & teached people to Christianity. You were there by yourself. I probably will never go there, but I watched a few times on a TV about this town. But I need to confess, that your photos are better & more realistic. Thank you Yair for sharing it with all of us. I haven't been on webshot for so long time, more than a year and a half, but now I got back, & we'll see each other more often. Many greetings & hugs from Ana Marija!!!

Nice photo-story, Yair. It's so hard to belive after your album that Nazareth was a very small town with population about 500 in Jesus' time. Flavious telling us: Nazareth built on a gentle rise with view of Mount Tabor five miles to the east, lay on the road between Jerusalem and the port of Acco in the Promised Land of the people of Yahweh. And I'm glad to see your stories about your land. They're beautiful both. Keep going same way because this is a right one. Sergio

LOL LOL, I wanted to say comments and not votes:)))))

said quartominguante 2008.01.11 at 03:17:51 PST

My dear friend, I consider this album one of your best ever! I had already seen, at least, most of these shots in Fotki, but I didn't resist making a lot of comments again! Just to give some work, LOL! Thank you so much for your kind votes in my flamingos album. I agree with you that a zoom of 18x is already very good, and I wasn't complaining:))) But it's not enough yet for the kind of shot I wish to do! Small birds! Besides, I must buy a tripod because, when I use the zoom at its full power, shots come out blurry! Maybe I should buy a remote shooter cable too... One of these days I'll become a real Pro, LOL. Right now, I still have so much to learn about photos:)))) This time I'm reading the instructions manual! But my Fuji is a very nice camera and it's nice sometimes to carry a lighter camera! Of course, the image quality with the Olympus is superior, but it costed the double! Have a great weekend, my friend! Here is raining a lot!!! Take care, Rosa

Very detailed as usual Yair! I liked many photos... ciao! Roberto

Hi Yair! you've been busy creating this beautiful album. Well worth seeing. Jacques

said photoplo 2008.01.04 at 08:25:43 PST

Hello Yair,another beautiful album with more of your great shots! I enjoyed my trip with you and will come back for another visit! Thank you for your visit & comments on "winter"album! I did get a new camera but I still have the other! This one is smaller to put in my purse. The foxes have gone to the woods although a couple of weeks ago,there was one crossing the road near my house. This winter,there is more snow than we have had in 20 to thirty years and it makes it harder for them to find food. The birds here get lots from people as most homes put out feeders for them all winter with lots of seeds in them. Have a wonderful week,my friend!..........Diane

said dianeaub 2008.01.01 at 15:51:07 PST

Dear Yair, first of all I would like to wish you a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year. Secondly for having shared your beautiful albums with all of us at WS. Some of these have been a learning experience for me, seeing pictures of places I may never be able to visit myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!...#####, Canada

Yair, this is a beautiful album. The church scenes are gorgeous and very moving. I like all the scenery and the market and the views of the city. The stain glass windows are awesome as are all the church scenes. This album should definitely be featured. Have a good 2008. hugs, Barbara

said midnightlace2 2007.12.28 at 07:41:22 PST

What a wonderful dedication for our chief tater!!!..and a special treat for the rest of us on Christmas Eve. Thank you so very much for the wonderful tour Yair, my dearest hope is still to visit all these special places in person! Have a wonderful day! Marita

said worldtripper3 2007.12.28 at 07:34:20 PST

Wonderful presentation of the churches and then of the street life! Excellent photography, Yair!! We both greatly enjoyed the slideshow on the big screen!Wishing you many more masterful albums in 2008!Friendliest regards from Gabriela & Yoshiyuki Tanaka

said tanaka62 2007.12.27 at 04:33:31 PST

My goodness, Yair! What a fabulous album this is! Without doubt this is one of the best albums I have seen in 2007. You have covered the subject with a thoroughness that only you are capable of. Among many of my must-see destinations Nazareth has always been in the top 10 list. This album has wholly reinforced that desire. Thank you for this. Wish you a great 2008!

said suresh_krishna 2007.12.26 at 20:56:53 PST

Hello Yair: Thank you for the most profound tour. Very nicely presented. I hope you and your family had a terrific holiday season. All my best to you. Ron

said ronchi120 2007.12.26 at 17:28:08 PST

Hi Yair, This album is wonderful - like being able to visit this beautiful part of the world. I dropped in at Mable's site to see the special person you dedicated such a beautiful album to. I see she is a cat lover so she is a friend of mine. - Very best regards, DeeAnne :)

said missdee101 2007.12.26 at 12:25:52 PST

Dear friend Yair: Nazareth has always had a profound meaning for us - I remember that already as little boy, the story around this special name/word had impressed me. So, your album does in a way give us a fortunate and interesting completion of the knowledge of this important place. Thank you! - With all our good wishes for the last days of this year and especially the new one: Kaethi and Henri

said oertlif_2 2007.12.26 at 07:59:12 PST

Hello Yair! I love this album, very nice pictures of Nazareth and lovely colors! I wish you a fabulous new year, your friend Corina

Wow, Your photos have gotten more and more better. You took awesome shots before but Wow! Most of them should be pro shots! Incredible... Keep up the good work and Thank you my friend. I can't help but notice how many Christians like my self are so appreciative of your work! Again Thank you the next best thing to being there it to look at your photos.

said catmonster1969 2007.12.26 at 03:53:50 PST

I can't expect any other result like this wonderful album you giving to us! Lamentably my 1st travel to "Medinat Israel" is still pending. Israel is a land I want to be not only for the history and beauty, but for my friends living there. Thanks Yair for your invitation. Best regards, Manuel

said mdediego 2007.12.26 at 00:53:10 PST

Dear Yair, after having viewed this entire album, I have to tell you that it seems to me, to be the most complete and informative album on this particular subject, unlike any other album of this place, I have seen around this site. It was a pleasure to view and read your captions, a wonderful journey that touched my senses, from tears, to smiles, from prayers to the mouthwatering deserts. You did a great job in capturing all these images, technically and artistically, and embedding along all the feelings that one may experience visiting this place in person. You are a true messenger that took his time, energy, and most important of all, the will, to deliver us what we don't have the possibility to see in person. Thank you!

said enemaria100 2007.12.25 at 17:02:41 PST

Hi Yair, This album is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for dropping by my featured album and for congratulating me. This is such a wonderful feeling. It's great to have friends like you that take the time to make us feel special with your comments. Darla

Dear Yair, we are home from work and have your invitation, but must leave soon to collect our grandchildren for the Candlelight Christmas Eve Service at our church. I will leave this site open and hope to view your photos when we return. ... This is a lovely Christmas Eve gift; thank you! ... Judy & Mike

said ladybug591 2007.12.24 at 13:21:49 PST

must also comment that this gift of Nazareth, presented on the eve of what we Christians celebrate as the birth of our Lord, is very, very appropriate .. thank you so much for thinking of me at this time of year :} and I was born the day after, December 26, 1948 ... the year Israel became an independent state

said mabelscritterart 2007.12.24 at 12:22:10 PST

I love the title of this album too, and to any Christian, the title is well deserving as the birth place of Jesus: the Rose of Sharon & Lily of the Valleys ... on with my views .... for you to think enough of me, a fairly newcomer to webshots, this dedication is more than appreciated ... it is treasured from the heart :}

said mabelscritterart 2007.12.24 at 12:16:23 PST

What can I say??? Fantastic! This album is a masterpiece! Dear Yair you have enchanted me with these so beautiful photos. Thank you to share with us your art. I hope to see a lot of new wonderful images in your site the next year and I hope you will have the success that you deserve! I wish you and your family a shinning 2008 and that it will take you all that your heart wishs! A hug. Simonetta

said simonaman 2007.12.24 at 10:34:09 PST

As for the amazing title that this album has, I can only say that, to me, it seems more of a symbolic flower; for what it represents, and not how it looks like, just like the beauty of a person, that is coming from inside, and not the physical appearance. I LOVE the title of this album!

said enemaria100 2007.12.24 at 08:26:16 PST

Dear Yair, this is a most wonderful album, and a wonderful dedication to a wonderful friend of ours. Mabel is not only lucky to get this important album dedicated to her, but also well-deserving. Happy Birthday, Mabel, and Merry Christmas to you, and everybody else. Maria

HI Yair this is a wonderful outstanding wonderful great album tys for the history leasson on the city of the new Testament never knew about it tys again Have a great Eve SHlomo

said thewise000 2007.12.24 at 07:21:27 PST

Yair, this is a beautiful album and will be treasured by all Christians. It is very nice that you dedicated it to Mabel for her birthday on Christmas Eve. As for Nazareth being called the Flower of Galilee (which seems to upset my friend Ran), research shows that this term goes back to at least the 5th century - not what it is today. No matter what it looks like today, it is still the home of our beloved savior, Jesus Christ, and a very beautiful place to all Christians, worthy of the pretty name. Thank you for all of your efforts in preparing this album and your great photography. Wishing you all the best for 2008, Carol

said albertsville 2007.12.24 at 07:04:56 PST

Dear friend, a magnificent reportage about a so famous place. Really interesting particulars, colours and many great compositions. Nazareth, the flower of Galilee, is a place to visit and j hope to go there once in my life. For now J'm satisfyed with the slideshow... Thank you to share with us this very very good job. Hug from Italy. Franco

said fuij 2007.12.24 at 06:58:34 PST

P S : Don't you put again the old album from our tour with Roza and Allen?

said ranyaari100 2007.12.24 at 04:59:48 PST

Dear Yair. It is over expression to call the city of Nazareth the flower of the Galilee. Florence in Italy is called the town of flowers, and here main church is called Santa Maria del Flora . ( Santa Maria of the flowers.)The most beautiful Florence got here good name in right. Nazaret is in my point of view,is in a big balagan dirtied and very ugly town. Yes, some churches at Nazaret are very nice and importent to the christianity but there is no one monoment in Nazaret worth for a big wowowowowow. Your album is a great and most beautiful one from the small nice side of this birth place of Jesus. RAN

said ranyaari100 2007.12.24 at 04:58:13 PST

well it is almost 2:30AM so gotta get to bed .. but I am so hungry now after looking at your markets in the streets of Nazareth ... yum yum ... will be back manana for a better look spuddie ... love you! good nite!
