Summer is for touring Jerusalem on Segways.These three young people on the bridge were admiring the view to the east just before sunset.
The mountains of Moab in the Kingdom of Jordan, across the Dead Sea, were just visible in the haze.
Mount Zion is on the left in this photo.
Below is Gehinnom, the valley (guy) of Hinnom .
Here is their bridge as seen from the Jerusalem Cinematheque.I posted here about the Bnai Brith Bridge and its famous handprints in the concrete.

This post joins others at Robin's Summer Stock Sunday and Louis' Sunday Bridges.

UPDATE: In response to comments I add some more information:
How does a Segway work?
and
Mostly you only see these silent electric vehicles being ridden along the Armon HaNatsiv Promenade. A 1.5 hour guided tour costs $55. See their route on this map.
Me? I'd rather walk.

That looks like a fun thing to do. I'm trying to picture you on a Segway. :-)
ReplyDeleteKay, haha, don't try too hard to picture me on a Segway. It is not going to happen.
ReplyDeleteNever seen this Segway! But, it looks like fun to me:-)
ReplyDeleteI too think it looks like a fun way to discover Jerusalem.
ReplyDeleteSegways on the bridge...sounds like a good title for a novel, perhaps a mystery!
ReplyDeleteThey look like they would topple over easily, but people seem to learn to avoid that...
ReplyDeleteIt would be and interesting way to get around, once one learned how!
they are here too....
ReplyDeleteAloha from Waikiki :)

I remember this footbridge and the handprints from your earlier post. It's a good spot to stop and admire the sunset and view.
ReplyDeleteHave you been on a segway?
ReplyDeleteI'd never have thought of J'lem as a particularly Segue-friendly city, what with the hills, the cobblestones, the crazy pedestrians... What a view though!

Whatever happened to walking, rollerblading, cycling or skateboarding. Now people go for a walk on motorised scooters.
ReplyDeleteNice bridge.
Very cool bridge in the second photo and what a view in the first one! I'm with you about hthe sedgway...
ReplyDeleteHi Dina, thanks for your comments on my blog. It is also great to find your blog. I am very interested in Jerusalem and will visit regularly.
ReplyDeleteThe bridge is very unusual and interesting. I've learnt a new word now, that's "Segway". We don't see them much here in my country. I think the bicycle is more popular.
ReplyDeleteHave a great new week, Dina!
In answer to the comments, I just added an update to this post with more info on Segways and Segway tours in Jerusalem.
ReplyDeleteI still prefer to walk.
When I walked through Gehinnom it was desolate place!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Dina, feet work best. Although a bicycle for longer tours appeals, too.
ReplyDeleteYou'd never get «Louis» on a Segway either! One thing for sure - if you did get him on one, it would be quite comical!
ReplyDeleteHe has never seen this confirmed, but «Louis» wonders if the name Segway is a pun on segue. Be that as it may, «Louis» thanks you for your contribution to Sunday Bridges.
Segway is not a bad way to get around I suppose, for people like me who have arthritis in my joints but would love to see the sights. I love your bridges!
ReplyDeleteThese people will have really great photos.
ReplyDeleteI hope so so much that all the changes in Mideast these days will not affect Israel.
looks like fun, though I usually tour the Old City on foot! I'd be too worried about crashing into people to enjoy the view!
ReplyDeleteThe view from there must be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to try segways. I don't think we have it in Bandung.
The top shot is great! Love both light and perspective.
