Global Eye: Jerusalem

Photographer: Sonya Brewer of Peoria, Arizona (grew up mostly in California and has lived in Canada as well as Japan for four years).

Getting the Shot: In November 2006, I traveled to Israel with my church. At the time I only had a point and shoot Kodak DX4330.

The Details: We had just gone to the Mount of Olives that morning and were walking down the roads of Jerusalem. As we started down the narrow road of the Via Dolorosa, to my delight was a street vendor selling olives. The colors caught my eye, as freshly picked olives filled the bright white bags.

IT likes the way the olive bags billow larger than life in this shot. Want your own photos featured on IT? Add them to our Flickr pool.
