Down in the Negev desert, however, is a Bedouin village that boasts something really really green.
"The wearing of the green" by a house!
This is the village where we studied Arabic and enjoyed home hospitality for five days.
"The wearing of the green" by a house!
This is the village where we studied Arabic and enjoyed home hospitality for five days.We were told that the owner wanted a house the color of the buses he drives. He is a share-holding member of the Egged bus cooperative and he wants everybody to know it. Being a chaver Egged is a status symbol in Israel.

This is an amazing green house! We don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day either.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny what lengths people go to to show their station in life. I like this man's spirit. I'm sure this person brightens other people's days with his bright green house.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely, Dina. St Patrick is unknown in the Netherlands too. He seems to have been a really great Saint. And I wish every Irishman and woman a happy St.Patrick Day.
ReplyDeleteIs this the house of envy???
ReplyDeleteSure does stand out amongst the others in the wider shot.
Happy St. Paddy's day, Dina!
Wow! That really stands out!
ReplyDeleteNobody can ignore it.
ReplyDeleteWe don't celebrate St Patrick Day either. Except in Irish pubs, mainly attended by english community, but there's not any other green stuffs that reminds the celebration here.
Good gracious! That's a stand-out house for sure.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Paddy's Day, Dina! Don't you wish you were in Chicago today to celebrate with the wearing of the green?
Deja vu Dina! (-8
ReplyDeleteAmazingly green house, very good for St Patricks day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot! Leave it to you to find the unusual and outstanding.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, it is colourful!
ReplyDeleteIn Italy you can find little countries on the sea (ex. Burano) where every house has a its color. Servants to the fishermen in order to recognize, also from afar, their house.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious if it could be any better spot than Istanbul to celebrate St Patrick's Day? Because the City is painted in "green" too much earlier:) And I prefer wearing only green this week long.
ReplyDeleteArabic is the language I don't know but my mom is fluent in it, though her roots from Rumelia(Balkan).
In the meantime, I do appreciate very much these kinda shots from your world that you bring on the table, Dina. I often come together w/ my Jewish-Turkish friends here, and tell me so much abt Jerusalem. Now I am feeling myself one step closer to this holy world because of you and your informative journal.
Sending my best wishes & bright thoughts & sunny 'green' smiles~
That house really stands out! How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWe don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day either. And I don't think we have lots of Irish ex-pats either, but don't quote me on that.
That's so interesting. The house is stunning against the background...I'd guess he's not celebrating St. Patrick's Day, though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on Florida Fotos, Dina. We've not been to Disney for awhile, either, but we're going back in May for Lois Anne's birthday.
Shalom to you, too!
Wow!! No way you can miss seeing that house, even from a distance!
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Paddy's day Dina! I'm wearing my kilt to supper at the church tonight, because as we all know St. Patrick was born in Scotland!
ReplyDeleteshalom,
Rev
What a lovely shade of green! you can't miss that house!
ReplyDeleteAn unusual house indeed! The owner certainly stands out for his very green building.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting Dina. Thanks for your comments on my St Patrick's Day post. I've done some more research and made a correction. Thanks, J Bar.
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing colour for the house - i love it!
