 Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel Currently walking here in Jerusalem on a quick morning, very very much morning hike It's about 6 a.m. in local time and according to the calendar and the Jewish religious calendar is amazingly helpful in this regard because it always lists the time of sunrise and it always lists the time it dawn I thought I'd come up here to the Taelit where I've been before but this time I have a cool new toy The DJI Ronan SC should be able to see behind me that beautiful sunrise absolutely gorgeous looking eastward there and This is Jerusalem in the morning. This place is actually Depending what time of day you go it can be pretty empty 6 a.m. Is dawn so I'm now two or three days back from my US trip still a pretty jet lagged and But this is an amazing place to go walking. We're actually gonna go today is the Sharovah promenade, which is this little one kilometer stretch of Paving here in Jerusalem it runs from the back of the Hass promenade which is the better known promenade on the Taelit and it goes for one kilometer running along with this Amazing view of the old city, which I'm just gonna swivel right now and show you and it comes out by Abu Tor Cinema City, so that's it's a really nice walk about one kilometer built in 1989 according to the internet But and you get to see this amazing view Over East Jerusalem slash old city, which I'm gonna swivel my my new toy the DJI Ronan SC around Show you guys what I'm looking at here sunrise in Jerusalem The way you get from the first part of the Taelit Is you just gonna keep going keep going down those stairs and then Depending on which way you come into the Taelit from you'll get to this beautiful path very ornate Leading down towards the direction of the old city and Jabal Mokhabar and all those different places And if you just keep going down you'll get to like a series of paths that just intersect and you can actually explore All of these different levels There's some really really interesting things over here And just keep going down and you'll start seeing signs saying Sharovah promenade and if you take it this way You will get to come out in Abu Tor So you can use it as a shortcut if you want to bypass the busy traffic on Der Chavron or you can just go for a nice walk This is one of the lookout point along the promenade. Unfortunately this particular piece of signage has been kind of Not sure if the face is the right word. Someone's just gone ahead and like grabbed one of the whole slabs out But nevertheless, you can see it's labeled with two different neighborhoods You can tell what you're looking at. For example, we have Abu Dees in front of us the very concerning sounding hill of evil council Jabal Mokhabar Peace Forest and Governor House, and that's what you're looking at where the Sun rises over in that direction is the End of the Tayyalet and where also is based in government house So some would say appropriately that it's called the hill of evil council So looking at you have these amazing views all over the old city You can see just in front of me or we're looking at here is the old city That's the dome of the rock and a lax mosque and the holiest site in Judaism Har Habayt and the western wall is all just spread out right in front of this amazing morning view and just in front of that You've got this lovely lush grass Green verdant area. There's actually some places here that you can go and have a picnic. Some people would use this on Shabbat The Jewish day of rest Some spots here for picnics and actually I think that this particular Promenade this part of the Tayyalet is kind of underexplored and underwalked As you can see I'm just a bit the only person here I'll be at at six in the morning So I'm just back from a trip to the US. I was there for about three weeks went to NYC Went to Welfly my first time in Cape Cod Went to the amazing town of Stores, Connecticut Um, and then went down to Dallas and it went on this trip basically to see my in-laws My wife is originally from Dallas and her family is Her father is originally from Stores. So that that was why we went to Stores It's kind of weird to be back. It's an adjustment period But I'm really glad to be making these videos. I picked up some Really really nice kit while I was over in the US Just compared to trying to source stuff in Israel So much easier When you can use services like amazon to just deliver stuff Right your door overnight. So I'm looking forward to getting into This new hobby of mine making videos now. I'm just doing this for fun. Just kind of a Something I've always wanted to kind of get into Um, I particularly enjoy the kind of technical aspect of it Learning about sound lighting as you can see I'm looking myself the monitor. You can't really see me. I have so much to learn But uh living in Jerusalem is cool and I feel I've been living in this city now for seven years and I've been started to really feel that For living in such an amazing place in the world. You kind of get wrapped up In, uh, you know, normal life and working and paying taxes and paying your bills And one of the things I wanted to do or one of the reasons why I wanted to start a youtube channel Was to give myself an excuse to go out and be a bit more adventurous So if you're watching this channel and you've always wanted to see Something or somewhere in Jerusalem Uh, drop me a comment and uh If I can make it happen I will. No promises, but I'll try Time for a mini amazon review. This thing you are looking at this europek backpack is literally The greatest thing one of the greatest things I've ever owned Uh 30 bucks or something like that on amazon made me more like 50 But I was looking for ages for like a really beefy backpack. This guy is a 50 liter backpack It says it's tsa approved so you can bring it and if you're looking for something to fit the DJI Ronin SC Which can be something of a challenge because it's a big piece of gear Uh, this guy is just incredible as you can see. I've got a couple of uh Monopods and tripods stashed away here, and that's where I'm actually keeping the Ronin when it's not in use This whole backpack compartment. There's a second compartment Uh, I've got a couple of microphones and cameras there And you've even got space to keep your sunglass and your wallet So if you're looking for a bag big enough that it is beefy enough that it will take it in one of the compartments So, uh, yeah, if you're looking for a backpack for the Ronin consider getting the Yorepec This item here on the shower of our promenade is labeled scope tool pull up pay And I'm guessing that what this is in uh, this plaque is referring to is this interesting looking structure here Uh, this guy if I believe I'm not mistaken is listed on google maps. You can see what I'm looking at here and it's this, uh Interesting structure here just beneath a tree on the shower of a promenade a really popular tourist site because of the fact that the Old city is so visible and uh, as well as that the city jerusalem Has these water sprinklers that are primarily working On the lawn or that's what they're intended to do. I assume But they're useful because if you want to get a bit of a sprinkler yourself While you're passing by i'm recording this in early august And even at this early time in the morning It is insanely hot here So the plants and the grass Are getting some, uh, body needed water Just towards the top of the Haas promenade show over promenade. There is this quite eye-capturing, uh Memorial it says here departure and expulsion memorial, and this is actually commemorating the 850 000 Jews Uh, who were forcibly expelled from arab lands and iran it says um, and the kinesit instituted a departure and expulsion memorial day This particular memorial was donated by the jewish american society For historic preservation with support from the world's safari federation city of jewsland and the jewsland foundation You can see the sculpture and the various, uh patrons and supporters Of this project and this is it right here
