The sky goes on and on above the Jerusalem Hills (also called the Judean Hills). Here is my moshav (village) on top of one of those hills, as seen from Hadassah Hospital and Hebrew University Medical School, looking west. My house is on the right, two terraces down from the top. From my window I am blessed to see Jerusalem across the valley to the east!Other skies in other hemispheres are on display starting tonight at SkyWatch Friday.
You never know what you will see in the sky do you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view indeed. Good.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a beautiful view from where you live.

ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely view towards your home.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely photo, Dina, of an historic place. May Peace be with you in the Judean Hills.
ReplyDeleteit is worth it that you have posted a marvelous photo. as it is really lovely to see it with the sky…
ReplyDeletecheck out mine here:HERE
Glad to see your view of the skies at your part of the world. That is why I joined skywatch for that purpose.
ReplyDeleteI really likes that framing with the crane and the walls.
ReplyDeleteGreat place and sky.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful home you must have, Dina. A home with a view of the holy city down hill.
ReplyDeleteToday I have my first post and participation in th Skywatch Friday. I hope to get to know more friends from here.
Dina: It looks like you have an outstanding view.
ReplyDeletejerusalem - a place i'd love to visit. your shots just make me want to be there more...
ReplyDeletetalk about a lovely view!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful view. You are lucky.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - not only the sight, but the Jerusalem Stone! :)
ReplyDeleteCheers, Klaus
You have framed this so very nicely, Dina. That is a massive crane in the village. I hope to reply again to your email this evening.
ReplyDeleteThank you, everybody. I have only lived here in this area for two years, but it is a view I've dreamed about all my life.
ReplyDeleteThe frame...well, I was waiting at the bus stop and it was just there, waiting for a camera. :)
Eki, welcome! I'm glad many SkyWatchers will discover your wonderful blog.
Gaz, maybe someday your time will come to visit Israel. Hope so.
Klaus, I didn't even notice the Jerusalem stone on the hotel's balcony wall. It's so common and normal to see it everywhere in Jerusalem.
Thanks Julie. Actually the crane is at Hadassah Hospital, which is expanding all the time. This crane is building a parking building for a thousand cars. To walk down from Hadassah's hilltop into the valley and up to my village takes me 35 minutes.
It just shows that we all have the same sky. I could be looking at my own sky.
ReplyDeleteBut I bet yours is warmer. ;0)
great view and a great shot for SWF!
ReplyDeletePetunia's SWF post
Dina, a warm 'bonjour' from the city of Paris to your Moshav.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but those words you translate to us sounds good to my ears. As well as 'Kibboutz'for instance.
Have a nice week-end.
When I see the hills or the mountains I think of psalm 121, which was my mum's favourite psalm and comforted her when we were in a concentration camp on Java, Indonesia. From our camp we could see the high mountains. Hopefully your mountains will carry peace. I cannot find the psalm that says : the mountains will carry peace, but I am sure you know what you mean.
ReplyDeleteLovely view OF your house! How fun to do that. Pretty sky, too.
ReplyDeleteVery nice shot:)Like it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sky. Contrasted with the signs of civilization. . . very cool. I love cloud watching~ Thanks for a great post.
ReplyDeleteThat would have to be the most amazing view to be able to see Jerusalem. Happy SWF Dina.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a peaceful day. I hope that it is. A good day for going up in a crane.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it odd to look at your home from a distance, or from an airplane? But it does make for a good photo, especially with the crane for contrast.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a pleasant spot to live, nice to have some greenery around.
ReplyDeletenice SWF entry!

ReplyDeletethe monster tries to capture the white things (clouds) in the sky. very beautiful composition
ReplyDeleteThis is such a gorgeous and interesting photo. I'm afraid I didn't get around to doing my Sky Watch today. Too many things going on. Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteReally cool shot!
ReplyDeleteA single crane in the sky. Within some weeks I'll watch thousands of flying cranes in the sky. They will migrate from Northern countries towards France and Spain.
ReplyDeleteHi Dina! Hope all is well with you. That is a beautiful view you have!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely view
