TLV

If you wander through a city, and show interest, it sometimes leaves a msg for you...



I really love that dancing robot for example...



... ever needed a room ?



No comment here, just enjoy ;)



And I found my new favorite artist. A while back I introduced you to Know Hope who is quite famous here. But the artists work I like the most in these streets is all from AME 72 who I did not know before I came here. Some of his stuff reminds me of banksy's stuff, and then there are his lego-man everywhere.













A well, a good day ends with a sunset. cu ...

Akko II, Dubai ? - no Haifa !

Finally found the missing lillies in the refactorium of the crusader fortress in akko. They where hidden in the corners, hard to see in that bad light.



Akko was almost empty, we could enter the mosque and see the beautiful garden.





Lets you think of Dubai too? Nah, it's Haifa.

Kinnereti II

Great view where Jesus held his "Sermon of the mount":



Mosaic showing the fish of the "feeding of the 5k":



Yeah, you are probably wondering why I am showing the storck - I've seen dozens of them on several places - apparently they are on the way back from africa to their destinations across europe and asia. I was not lucky yet, capturing the scene - but believe me: a swarm of those beautiful birds in the air or resting on the fields is a great view!



Gamla - on the watch for cruising vultures. We spotted some, but not as close as last time. But the view was better - in the back you can see the snow covered הר חרמון - behind it are Lebanon and Syria.



Oh yeah - got a couple of new shirts ;)

Aba & Ima



Yes, this is En Gedi again - this time with the most spectacular view. It's funny. Everytime it rains, someone says "This is the last rain" - but guess what - it did it again.
I told you in February that raining in the desert is just great, because of the dramatic sky lighting the rock in impossible colours.



View to Jordan from the top of Massada.



My mum said the scene is fitting for black friday - fortunately this rain never reached us...



... however on the way back we saw the results: flashfloods (sry couldn't get a good picture of the waterfalls coming from sea level).

More Biking

Went for a bikeride with leah - we planned a rectangle, but if i remember the street names correctly we ended up with a ballet dress... It was a nice ride - hardly any traffic.

Kinnereti

The Sea of Galilee



Capernaun





Hummingbird



Does this get any better?

Haifa & Akko







In case you get lost follow instructions ...



... yep, horse on a roof.

Masada מצדה

Next day מצדה - great place, don't fear the other tourists - it's worth it.





Also עין גדי is not very far, and guess what - we saw a hyrax baby too.





Desert rose عبدات‎

I told you I fell in love with the desert & I wanted to share my love, so I brought her a rose. We went to عبدات‎ - unfortunately the weather was really cool, it was windy and the air was full of sand ...



... i still had a great view.



Then we went to ein avdat, we were a bit late - which was a good thing. The buses were all gone, and the ibex came out - with their young.



ירושלים

Had the most beautiful visitor here, so I took her to the most beautiful place ירושלים.
