I had a good visit near the coast yesterday, mostly looking out from a relative's balcony at this view--construction of a new wing of Tel Aviv Museum.The strange tower on the left soars upward out of a 17-floor office building in HaKirya military base.
The bus home to Jerusalem passes the Azrieli towers. The third, triangular highrise is behind these two.
Just a few minutes on the highway out of Tel Aviv the just-cut hay fields were golden in the setting sun. Fresh hay in big round bales.

Such a small distance across the country from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Less than an hour on the bus. But the two cities are worlds apart.

Very nice SWF-post, the second one is my fav.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice SWF.
I like the power cables - such a great angle to showcase the giant buildings!
ReplyDeleteThank you for including the map, Dina. It helps explain your journey from the big city back to your home.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour commentary and photos
ReplyDeleteA visit to the city reminds one of how wonderful the countryside is. And vice versa, I suppose. Variety=spice, etc.
ReplyDeleteThose towers are interesting with the three basic shapes. Architects thinking like artists. I just love that, especially when the buildings function well, too.
Hi Dina, I like the fields. I'm a country girl at heart, although I was raised in a city. So country things are best!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know Tel Aviv had such big skyscrapers.

I liked the countryside photo best, but that's probably because I'm a country girl at heart.
ReplyDeleteI like the city but I've got to get out in country quite often. Beautiful photographs.
ReplyDeleteI marvel at Jerusalem's diversity. Hungarians in Jerusalem, wow!
ReplyDeletePlease show us the museum when it is completed. Such a nice slice of life.
Very interesting post. Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are so different.
ReplyDeleteI bet those buildings look amazing from above, with their geometrical shapes.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of the Azrieli towers!
ReplyDeleteTo my country bred eyes the third shot was pure balm.
