At 3:30 this afternoon the sun was still high enough to be reflected from the cars in the Hadassah Hospital parking lots. But the haze to the west disguised the Jerusalem Hills.
There is a village on the hill behind the first line of trees, but you would never know it in today's weather conditions. It was windy, dusty, hot.

Israel is having the warmest February on record.
Many of us are digging in the storage box to get our sandals and T shirts out again.
Trees and flowers are thoroughly confused.

Happy SkyWatch Friday to you all, especially those who are tired of snow and cold.

Magnificent view. Gorgeous one
ReplyDeleteThe tonal gradation of those hills makes beautiful photograph, Dina. I like this photo.
ReplyDeleteWell, if you have too much heat then send it to the north, lol.
ReplyDeleteREALLY hard to believe! Guess my timing was off. Is it hamseen time yet?
ReplyDeleteLove the view! Wish will be warmer here too.
ReplyDeleteSkyWatch-HalfMoon

ReplyDeleteGreat photo though.
Gill in Canada
What a view!
ReplyDeleteAnd the t-shirts and sandals comment is just showing off! Have a great week xo
It is nice to know that others sometimes have a problem getting good skies.
ReplyDeleteI will loan you some of ours.
Yes, and there is a rare winter cyclone forming to Hawaii's south. More heat means more energy in the atmosphere, leading to extreme weather INCLUDING unusually heavy snow in SOME places!
ReplyDeleteOy!
Aloha, Dina

Beautiful hazy shot! A hazy day usually looks better in a photograph than otherwise...very nice shot!
ReplyDeleteOh to be able to wear sandals and Tee's again...
ReplyDeleteThis particular Skywatch Friday is a blog birthday for you, is it not? Happy day, in any case! All your days should be happy ones, in exchange for all the happiness you bring to others.
ReplyDeleteA very attractive landscape, beautiful photograph!
ReplyDeleteMaybe there's hope yet for global warming. It's hard to imagine hot weather with all of the snow around here.
ReplyDeleteJerusalem too? We're in the middle of a drought right now — what should be rice paddies are cracked, brown earth all over the Philippines. :(
ReplyDeleteWising us both some much-needed rain soon.
Do you make fun of us, Dina ? I smile with you.....hoping for a little more heat...just a few degrees.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image, contrasts and light.
ReplyDeleteYes, a false spring does confuse the flowers and foliage.
I wish I was digging the flip flops and bermudas... :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice view! The summer's begun to show up here in Mumbai. The temperature has begun to rise. Soon it will become hotter and hotter day by day.... I'm quite jealous of COLD places :-(
ReplyDeleteHow funny! The tourists are complaning that it's too cold in Hawaii.
