הבניין הגבוה משמאל - תחנת הקמח בבית צפאפא, שפוצצה על ידי ההגנה בינואר 1947.
המבנה הנמוך באמצע התמונה - קו שביתת הנשק בין ישראל לירדן, כפי שנקבע לאחר מלחמת העצמאות; חורשת העצים מצד ימין - דרום שכונת מקור חיים.

اعلى مبنى على اليسار - مطحنة القمح في بيت صفافا ، التي نسفت على يد الهجانا في كانون الثاني 1947 . المبنى المنخفض في وسط الصورة - خط وقف ’ اطلاق النار بين إسرائيل والأردن ، كما حدد بعد حرب - الاستقلال ؛ بستان من الأشجار على اليمين - جنوب حي مكور حاييم .

The tall building at left is the Beit Safafa lour mill, which was blown up by the Haganah in 1947.
The low structure in the middle of the photo marks the ceasefire line between Israel and Jordan after the War of Independence. The grove at right is in the southern part of Mekor Haim.

[הערה: התמונה משתרעת על שני צידי השלט.
ייתכן שהשנה בה צולמה התמונה אינה 1967 אלא 1947, זאת לאור הכתוב בשלט שהבית בצד שמאל פוצץ על ידי ההגנה, כך שאינו אמור להופיע בתמונה]
Note: The image extends to both sides of the sign.
It is possible that the year in which the photo was taken was not 1967 but 1947, in light of what is written on the sign that the house on the left was blown up by the defense, so it should not appear in the photo]
