How can it be Friday already??
Time again for James' meme, "Weekend Reflections."
I was trying to get a picture of an example of the famous Armenian tile work in a ceramics shop window in Jerusalem's Old City.Now I see a whole street came with it, along with the sign Via Dolorosa Street.
.
Very cool. This is a happy accident. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place to go to shop!

very nice, it looks like the tree appuit s wall
ReplyDeletegood w end
I love those kinds of surprises...like a great deal in the ceramic shop!? Beautiful street!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tile and so are the reflections...have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe all appreciated a little extra - especially when it looks as nice as this.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and what an interesting line of work you are in!
ReplyDeleteThank you also for your comment on my SWF host photo - it was very much appreciated!
Beautiful picture. I love your pictures that spark a memory in me. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous reflection shot, Dina!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful...the textures and tones, the contrasts, all wonderful.
ReplyDeleteA real exotic feel to the shot, Dina! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great shot! Isn't it fun when the camera sees things we don't?
ReplyDeleteVery Nicely Captured.
ReplyDeleteNext to my house there is a shop called 'Arabian Tent'; they allways have fantastic artworks from Armenia, Iran, Turkey and other Middle Eastern countries. The patterns are allways fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the subtle feel of this photo. We always need to be on the lookout for happy accidents like this one.
ReplyDeleteFunny how we sometimes don't notice everything right away in the photos we take! This window is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite place to visit in Tiberias was the Tomb of Maimonides. I am so loving all these posts from the city.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me a bit of mexican tiles. Yes, tis a truism. Shooting through a shop window is always a difficult task
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what we wanted!
ReplyDeleteIs it what we call the "tree of life?"
Beautiful!
Fun! A shop on a street and the street in the same shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beatiful tile! This is amazing! Would people have something so amazing in their houses? Or this is more for an official building? I assume these peices are very expensive?
ReplyDelete...Heavenly reflection!
Great shot, what a fun surprise.
ReplyDeleteCool perspective. :)
ReplyDeleteShalom friends and thanks for your interesting comments.
ReplyDeleteHi Alice. Did you really go to the tomb of Maimonides?! Wow.
I didn't have enough free time to visit all the famous tombs in Tiberias. But soon I plan to post about the old cemetery.
Shalom to you.
Therese shalom.
Glad you liked the Armenian tiles.
I'm not sure if Christian Armenians would call this tree in the tiles the tree of life.
They have old stone khachkars showing the cross of Jesus with roots and call that the tree of life. See http://jerusalemhillsdailyphoto.blogspot.com/2008/09/trees-of-life.html
Quilt Works, Sorry, I don't know the answers to your questions on the Armenian tile picture. I imagine such art is expensive, but I never asked. Someday I will actually go in one of the Armenian shops and look around and get some information.
Excellent Reflection of beautiful pieces of art. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeletebeautiful tile work, lovely reflection...
ReplyDeleteI love this photo! So evocative of Jerusalem...and how I'd like to have access to that room whose windows I see reflected above the arches...
ReplyDeleteWow, this picture has a real magic quality to it (and that is just the kind of shop I favour for window shopping!) Hope you're having a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteCharming image, Dina, between reality and unreality. I like it very much.
ReplyDeleteThis is neat, Dina. Another world within and perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove the shot, Dina! Along with seeing the tiles, I get to see the architecture within which they reside. Beautiful stuff!
