While on a bench-finding safari for RuneE's Bench on Friday mini-meme, I discovered a lovely place tucked into the shaded streets of garden suburb Beit HaKerem.
Have you ever seen palm trees growing through a deck?!
Simple sturdy benches
with a view to a rock garden, complete with a little waterfall.
The pleasantness of the garden and of the real grass lawn seemed incongruous with the serious and weighty purpose of the place. The sign says National Inquiry Commission..
I am glad you inquired about that little bench because it is simply delightful in those surroundings. I am sure they built the deck around the trees that werre already there because they liked the placement. I hope you got to spend some time there sitting on their little bench!
ReplyDeleteCome and see mine. I put it up early on Thursday nite here.
After such a nice presentation, the sign was a bit threatening. Let us hope that the bench is for the recuperation of those whose lives have been inquired into.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy I found your blog.
ReplyDeleteWonderful PALM trees! Which came first, the palms or the deck? What a great place to relax! A client of mine, Sandy, may be contacting you about a connection she has in Jerusalem Hills! Bon weekend!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what those palm trees enquire about? Watering restrictions?
ReplyDeleteNo I have never seen palms growing through a deck. Lovely place. "National Inquiry Commission" sounds ominous.
ReplyDeleteNational Inquiry Commission?? I thought it was just in someone's lovely home! Wish all government agencies looked this welcoming!
ReplyDeleteIt is a very inviting place for the national commission to inquire of God...whether that is how the sign was intended, or not! Let's hope people take advantage of the invitation.
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos! Those tree trunks through the deck are amazing!
ReplyDeleteShabbat Shalom!
I would be near the rock garden with the waterfall listening to the running water. Wonderful place, Dina.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a wonderful spot for a bench! I love the way the palm trees grow out of the decking - they look so sculptural, and rather like they in a slow graceful dance!
ReplyDeleteThis shows a great appreciation for those palms. Indeed, the place is a bit curious. Well, if they get tide of inquiring they can sit outside and enjoy their beautiful deck.
ReplyDeletepalms growing through decking - not unique but it is always odd to see it.
ReplyDeletePalm trees growing through a deck is a new one on me! And I've seen lots of palm trees in my life.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty garden. The employees at the NIC have a lovely place to take their breaks and eat their lunches.
It's a dream garden. someboby in the NIC should have great gardening taste..
ReplyDeleteI have seen such a garden minus the inquisition. The San Diego zoo has such a deck.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....? National Inquiry Commission? What could that mean? Interogation? Sounds spooky. However, the garden is gorgeous and I love the palm trees growing through the deck.
ReplyDeleteI guess here the palm trees are nature's parasols. I wonder if the deck will need to be replaced as the trunks grow thicker. Meanwhile, it's a pleasant, shaded spot for benches.
ReplyDeleteLovely spot!
ReplyDeleteI,ve never seen palm trees growing through a deck, I can't remember ever seeing palm trees at all.
