A battle in the skies of Jerusalem?!
Who will win, the mast of Calatrava's Bridge of Strings or the giant cranes?
.
The cranes are working in a deep pit that we saw in a previous post.
.
The crane's shadow, for Shadow Shot Sunday, suddenly curves as it hits the side wall of the 80-meter-deep pit.
There is a big machine near the air hose. I think they are starting to bore a tunnel for the future high speed Tel Aviv-Jerusalem train.
This hole will someday be the train station, and it will double as a bomb shelter.
.
The bridge, or at least the top part of it, is for Louis la Vache's Sunday Bridges.

Dueling lines, I love your creativity. Great sabra shot in the previous post too.
ReplyDeletePS I'm back, but still horrifically jetlagged.
It may be strange, but I like the images of the cranes.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing shot of that hole in the ground.
ReplyDeleteGreat action shadow shots!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
Those shadows that you captured in the big hole are very impressive. I really enjoyed your previous posts about sabras too :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a super week ahead Dina!
Very impressive shots! Yet the idea to build something both for a train station and as a bomb shelter is very scary. The fact that we live in a world where we have to be constantly aware of danger.
ReplyDeletea lot of the places in Singapore have bomb shelters include individual apartments. I hope you never need to use it as a bomb shelter.
ReplyDeleteDina, what a superb post. I enlarged the second photo as large as it would go... How did you take that? So cool...
ReplyDeleteYou are always finding such a different way to present the ordinary things Dina..I love it..
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite kind of posts, I like works in progress and this looks like a very important one.
ReplyDeleteI love both pictures :)
ReplyDeleteNice week end

I've always wanted to work a crane :D
ReplyDeleteThe bottom shot is impressive!
ReplyDeletenice capture!
ReplyDeleteThe mention of the underground train station doubling up as a bomb shelter is a sobering reminder of the war spirit that Israel still lives in. I hope one day the bomb shelter becomes a useless concept.
