Photographer's Note
A moment of small talk between pilgrims and Jordanian soldier.
The view is across the border from Israel side to the Kingdom-of-Jordan side, a 14+/-m apart at the Quasr-al-Yahud baptism site.
As mentioned, it is mostly sacred to Orthodox church worshipers and an important point in history to the Jewish belief.

Hello Ike,
A good photo of this encounter between the visitors to this sacred place and the soldier. The light is fine, nice and soft, thanks to the canopy blocking any direct sunlight. Well captured.

Hello Ike,
A good daily life scene from this historic site sacred to 2 religions. Possibly 3. The life buoy is an interesting touch but necessary, I suppose, in the event that someone who cannot swim gets out of their depth. Tfs.

Hello Ike,
It looks like a very quiet border post. The small talk creates a nice atmosphere, which is photographically enhanced by the wooden structures and the orange lifebuoy. I feel sorry for the lady who unfortunately happened to tear up the right leg of her white trousers. ;-)
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Ike,
What an interesting scene!
I suppose it will be a change from routine, for the soldier, to talk to visiting tourists about the place that he is guarding.
I really like how you have used the wooden structure to frame the relaxed encounter between the two sides.
The colours and the clarity are excellent.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Ike,
I am glad you made this trip and you share the documentary.
As I wrote before I checked the typical tourist destinations there before and considered it for a while so I have seen these spots as popular tours from Tel Aviv. I am actually surprised that you did it just now, may be you have done it before in the past already.
Great destination for a trip for sure, and I hope the peace gets more settles soon so I can convince my family to it again.
