Action above and below-ground

.
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.

  1. Dueling lines, I love your creativity. Great sabra shot in the previous post too.

    PS I'm back, but still horrifically jetlagged.

  5. Those shadows that you captured in the big hole are very impressive. I really enjoyed your previous posts about sabras too :)

    Hope you have a super week ahead Dina!

  6. 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.

  7. a lot of the places in Singapore have bomb shelters include individual apartments. I hope you never need to use it as a bomb shelter.

  13. The 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.
