The pedestrian bridge (under which our walking tour group walked) goes over the highway and over the Fire Department and joins up with the main foot bridge that takes you into Israel's Supreme Court building..
We talked more about the big bridge in my post "The straight and narrow." More photos of it there, too. It was built in 2005.
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.

These two Jerusalem bridges are for Louis la Vache's Sunday Bridge Series.
Why not contribute a bridge from your own city? It's fun. Come, let's all meet in San Francisco!

Your Supreme Court Building will never cease to amaze me, I think. Even its location has a meaning!
ReplyDeleteDina, «Louis» thanks you for inviting others to the Bridge Series!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post - you already know «Louis» likes this building, thanks to your series on it! «Louis's» linked it!
I'm glad you posted this one. I'm running out of bridges over water and thought about doing something similar to your post. You've lead the way, and now I shall follow.
ReplyDeleteI still think that this kind of bridge is a photographer's dream!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to think you have Walking Groups too. We only hear the bad news from places, don't we!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! We have plenty of bridges in my country! Next time I shall think of it.
ReplyDeleteJust as nice as the Supreme Court!
ReplyDeleteReading your blog, it becomes so evident that Jerusalem is a dichotomy of old and new. From the Armenian Church to the Supreme Court Building.. So many centuries, cultures, issues. What will tomorrow hold?

A very nice bridge. It's good to give people safe access to public places. I like what it stands for as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Hilda! And it's a long bridge!
ReplyDeleteI like when foot bridges are used to get across busy streets...nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely capture of the architecture. I like the "view through" the "frame within the frame".
ReplyDeleteThe reason for the location is a nice one...accessible to all.
such a nice bridge! Though we have some, one of which I posted today, I wish we had more bridges for pedestrians.
ReplyDeleteI live Ram and Ada Karmi's work, and I liked their father's work. Is Dov still working?
