Evening sky

Some evening pictures from Hadassah hospital (Ein Kerem campus), about 8:00 pm, while waiting for the bus to my village.
Good ones for SkyWatch Friday, I think.
These are the same sleeping cranes you saw from far away a few weeks ago.
My village, with her first lights coming on.
It's just half an hour's walk.

And for the SkyWatchers who missed my funny windsock post, here is another shot of it, at the helicopter landing pad.
A neighboring moshav is up on top of the hill. They and we often have a few helicopter flying over us during the day or night. Not everyone is so lucky to live so close to a world-class medical center. (May we all be well and healthy!)

  1. Beautiful soft hues... very tranquil... the colors in the second photo are so relaxing~ the "sleeping cranes" are such a masterpiece of engineering, aren't they!?

  2. Very pretty, soft skies.

    I can't hear a helicopter go by overhead without hearing Shalom Hanoch's words ringing in my head - B'makom bo ani gar helicopter over, zeh siman lamashehu ra. "Where I live a helicopter passes, it's a sign of something bad."

  10. The first shot is really powerful!

    Dina, I think my previous post may eventually interest you. It has to do with digging... :-)

  11. Is that what they call them "wind socks".... I love the silhouette of a construction crane.

    (I too live on a hillside)

  12. Have a peaceful evening, Dina. I could use a wind sock over here actually. I wonder where I could put one up.

  14. Helicopters, as soon as they can save lifes are a good sign in this sky.
    These skies are so peaceful, waiting for a new day.

  15. Very attractive the evening light in these images. Your village must be so pleasant.
    I also like to photograph cranes for their interesting geometric shapes in some perspectives.
