I love the photo.  Looking out - from where, to where?  It must have been wonderful to see Jerusalem.

I am not an envious person.   BUT I do envy anyone going to the Holy Land.  I remember as a wee girl laying on the couch in the living room listening to George Beverly Shay sing.."I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked".  I have longed to go there ever since that time.

This is a beautiful picture.

Very nice. I love the way the light enters the room. Love this photo!

The Italian expression chiaroscuro comes to mind (literally "light/dark") refers to the dramatic modeling of subjects in painting by means of shafts of light illuminating dark scenes.

This is exceptional.  You were lucky to have all the elements in the right place, and the eye to see them and record them.   It is emotionally touching and technically great.

A bit of tone mapping would open up the shadows just a bit, and sharpen the architectural details in the building across the way.   I won't mess with this one, but I'd encourage you to look into it.
