Where Jerusalem, Israel
When 1984
Photographer James L. Stanfield

“The Western Wall (shown), as befits the holiest spot of Judaism, is visited daily by the faithful. A sea of men in black suits and white prayer shawls congregate there, praying loudly and piously bowing their heads; women pray quietly in a separate section.”

(Text from “The Three Faces of Jerusalem,” April 1996, National Geographic magazine)
