The court building we have been studying in the last few posts was dedicated in 1992.But the Supreme Court Bridge was added to it only in 2005.
The top of the bridge gave a welcome spot of shade on an unseasonably hot February day. Good for Hey Harriet's "Shadow Shot Sunday."
When I walked onto the bridge, toward the court, it literally felt like I was on the straight and narrow.

I came by bus to Jerusalem's Central Bus Station. It is just beyond the tall hotel, about ten minutes walk.The architects, Ram and Ada Karmi, explain that the location of the Supreme Court at the entrance to the city, near the Central Bus Station, emphasizes its accessibility to all Israelis.
.In biblical times, the entrance of a city is where the judges sat and judged on Mondays and Thursdays.
As Deuteronomy 16:18 says, "You shall appoint magistrates and officials . . . in all your gates . . . and they shall govern the people with due justice."

This is a nice bridge and shadow!:-)
ReplyDeleteThe bridge offers striking and stylish arcs to traverse or walk beneath. The importance of the building is the right reason to have such an impressive fixture. The weight of the decisions and their importance means we feel that weight when we pass through. Solemn the place may be, but its look is one of style and life. Lovely post!
ReplyDeleteAn unseasonably hot February day just does not compute here in frozen Iowa, USofA...ha!
ReplyDeleteNeat bridge, cool shadows...you hope!

Beautiful bridge, great shadow!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely capture of the bridge. I have a thing for bridge photos! And I loved your birdy 'camera critters' photo in the post above. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteSure do enjoy the sightseeing shadowshots you provide! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIf the bus station is still where it was I remember the place and the hotel, but there was no bridge in my last visit in 1995. A great addition, I appreciate the highly symbolic value. And it is even beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos of the bridge. The second one is stunning with the shadows and perspective.
