Uh-oh, I'm running out of Israeli bridges for Louis la Vache's "Sunday Bridges."
How about a bridge between ancient cultures?This 3D map has been touched by so many pointing guides at the Tower of David Museum that you can hardly make out the names.
"Situated in the Fertile Crescent, stretching along the Mediterranean Coast, the ancient Land of Israel (Canaan) served as a vital corridor between continents, a cultural bridge and a buffer between the two mighty civilizations on its borders--Egypt and the kingdoms of Mesopotamia. "

Ah, an interesting take on the word.
ReplyDeleteTalking of Ancient cultures, I watched Troy and always wondered about the Troyan horse and Achilles heel. I was fascinated and stayed up to watch the whole movie on TV.
ReplyDeleteUsually this kind of 'bridges' are mostly used through the ages by invading armies... But bridges they are!
ReplyDeleteVery creative idea, Dina!
ReplyDeletePerfect post Dina, I'm trying to think of other bridge concepts too but can't find any!
ReplyDeletevery creative post. i like it.:p
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Kind of explains Israel's many problems over the millennia…
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of bridge I really like!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative bridge you've found! Lovely post :D
ReplyDeletegreat bridging idea.
ReplyDeleteI remember a blogger who was posting 'a hundred views of the swing bridge' from her town. I could handle that many views of your Calatrava.
You yourself are a bridge between cultures, Dina. This is creative thinking.
ReplyDeleteI suppose when one runs out of bridges one could photograph a game of bridge, but I hope folks will omit dental work...
Good lateral thinking. If more people thought to build bridges between nations, the world would be a much better place.
ReplyDeleteNo Dina, my shadow was not a ginko, it is of a little European wildflower. Mine has white flowers but the pink version is called 'ground smoke' in German, No idea what it is called in English or any other language and too lazy/tired to hunt through my botanical tomes for its real name.
A unique contribution to Sunday Bridges, Dina!
ReplyDeleteAs Hilda pointed out, this puts a perspective on Israel's continually being "between a rock and a hard spot".
Just a lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteBest regards from Argentina

Now that's a big and wonderful bridge! Very clever of you.
