Here is one of the towers of the old (19th century) Russian pilgrim hostel reflected in the fountain in Sergei's Courtyard.
Even the upper "bowl" had the reflection, and fish as a bonus..
All for James' Weekend Reflections.

Excellent Dina!
ReplyDeleteMy first encounter with Russian onion shaped church towers was on Mt. Olivet not too far from Gethsemane. Little did I know then that I would someday have Russian relatives. I don't know that I saw the Russian Hostel on my long ago visit. Maybe some day I can revisit the area with my husband, who was just a boyfriend back then and not on the trip. This year, though, it is Scotland. I will have to live to 120 to visit and revisit all the places I want to.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, Dina!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflections Dina.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend.
A very quiet place and some beautiful reflections.
ReplyDeleteI had to smile at the fish.
ReplyDeleteShalom and thanks to all for visiting.
ReplyDeleteKatney, I hope you will come visit Israel again. Would love to meet you.
This Sergei's Courtyard and its Russian Compound are not far from City Hall, in between Jaffa Road and HaNeviim Street. It is not on the tourist route. Many locals don't even know about the wonderful quiet garden inside Sergei's Courtyard.
Come, I'll take you there.
Meanwhile, I should do a proper post about it all. All that Russian history is so complicated, though.
These are great. I think I like the bottom one best because of the fish.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
So very beautiful--these reflections fill my eyes, which is the greatest compliment I can give.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful reflections, Dina!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful images, each one. I love the reflections.
