Prison

Prison

Prison is really a mental condition.
It isn’t always the physical condition.
You can be in a five stars hotel and still feel you are in prison.
The fact that you can’t leave the place is what makes the difference.
Nobody can put your mind in prison. You can feel free in prison.

The image was taken in the underground prisoners museum in Jerusalem.
The place was the main prison of the British government from 1920 to 1948.
Hundreds of Jewish underground members who fought against the British mandate were imprisoned there.

    Love your writing, and description of thee prisoner state of mind.. How true it is! A well captured image that brings forth the concept of prison and the history of the place. A wonderful addition to the Art of the Middle East group.

    Strange, I’ve been thinking along these same lines. Today I uploaded two photos, one representing mental & spiritual prison, and one representing physical prisons. Great minds, eh? :-) Excellent work.
