Cumulous clouds for ABC Wednesday.There is a big heavy cloud over the Middle East.
Here it has rained since Saturday; it is wet and windy and at night it goes down to almost freezing in the Jerusalem Hills.
.
The sun is down now and I wonder how cold it is for the over one million people right now in Tahrir Square. Cairo is only 264 miles from here.
Let's all hope for the best, for Egypt and for Israel.

awesome words on the image with c in it.
ReplyDeletecheers.
I try to follow the news as closely as possible and I'm thankful for the internet because the mainstream media will loose interest soon. I hope that all turns out well and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteNice photo. I really don't know what to make of the demonstrations in Egypt. They are very remarkable and I am having trouble figuring out the future holds for your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting almost no real information about the situation in Egypt here in the U.S.

Great shot, Dina!
ReplyDeleteI have been watching the events unfold, steadfastly.
Wishing for an outcome that brings increased peace, stability, human rights and opportunity for growth to everyone in the region.
ReplyDeleteWhether that is even possible I can't say, but I can at least dream it.

I agree there is a heavy cloud over the ME. And it must more than make you a little anxious to be so close to it. I can't see a fast resolution. I don't know what else to say. Hoping for the best is not very helpful.
ReplyDeleteWHAT I KNOW
ReplyDelete*If Egypt gets controlled by extremists, then Israel truly has no friends around them. Jordan is a cold friend at best.
WHAT I DON'T KNOW
*I really don't know if Egypt will fall in the hands of extremists, but whenever violence escalates Israel is usually blamed. Look for a more hostile Egypt whatever way it turns out.
*Was the Egyptian crisis predicted and managed enough by the Davos crowd? Will events get out of hand from the world elites?
*Is the US Secretary's unprecedented meeting with American ambassadors throughout the world truly about how to handle Israel over the anti-settlement resolution in the weeks ahead, and the Palestinians declared state in the late summer of 2011?
Made me think, what clouds would say, if able to speak about things going on here down upon earth.
ReplyDeleteMay they loose their weight, providing much needed rain, lifting up life again.
Please have a good Wednesday.

I am very proud of the people of Egypt for finally realizing that a dictatorship is a bad idea. Canada has one right now, and it's pretty awful. When people protested peacefully, the Prime Minister set the police on them. He had the police arrest the protesters and ignore the vandals, even the ones who set fire to a police car.
ReplyDeleteI hope your weather settles down soon, neither drought nor flood!

Ah, yes. The cloud of change is surely evident. Hoping for the best for everyone.
ReplyDeletechange in Jordan too...
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the ABC Wednesday team, Thank you! ROG
That's a great shot indeed! The cloud looks "pregnant" with rain! My thoughts and prayers are with you in these tumultuous days.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to be getting plenty of news on the west coast of the US. That doesn't mean we know what will happen, because at this point it's so hard to tell. So far, however, it appears that the people will persist and that what they want is a moderate government.
ReplyDeleteWell caught...
ReplyDeleteGreat cloud shot. I hope too that all settles calmly in Egypt and Israel.
ReplyDeleteI think our govts are getting plenty of ractice at dealing with nature.
I'm really worried too, Dina. Peace is such a tenuous thing. I hope the change in government can happen carefully without further bloodshed and that the new leaders will want peace for everyone.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I think about this...
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for Egypt.
ReplyDeleteReally like this image. Evocative.
ReplyDeleteWe have the same entry :) hope you can visit my captured clouds.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot Dina!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very much like the Dutch sky, lol.
