Silwan, and just great photos

the Palestine Exploration Fund, has uploaded some of their photos onto flickr. Some of these are really fascinating, and show the land of Israel as it was since 1865. Due to copyright reasons, I can't post the pictures, but here are some of the interesting links:

• Picture of Silwan Vally 1947 - Oddly enough I can't see any of those houses that the palestinians claim have been there for generations.
• Picture of the Kotel 1914.
• Jaffa Gate (1898-1902) - Actually it does not seem to have changed that much in 100 years. 
• Nebulus Gate (1911)
• Mishkanot Shananim and the windmill (1918)  - Hard to believe how bare it looks. 
• Rachel's Tomb (1911) - Looking absolutely desolate.
