Winter clouds for SkyWatch Friday. .
The Consulate General of Spain is in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in east Jerusalem.
It looks less ominous from the other side, in full sunlight..
Spain and the State of Israel have had diplomatic relations only since 1986.
.
The Spanish embassy is in Tel Aviv, like all the embassies, because of the problem nations have in recognizing Jerusalem as our capital.
.
It is funny how the direction of light can change everything! I prefer the first shot. It has more mystery to it.
ReplyDeleteShades and light trick our eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe upper one gave an almost threatening impression.
The skies in the top pic are beautiful against the dark stonework of the embassy.

Both are quite dramatic photos, Dina, and I think you have captured the historical tensions implicit in the relations between the two countries in your photos...
ReplyDeleteOh, I thought I saw the Spanish flag!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky shots, Dina.
An interesting post...subject looks great in dark or light.
ReplyDeleteThe clouds and dark shadows do lend an air of mystery to the top photo! Two great shots Dina!
ReplyDeleteI like the first shot better too.

It looks like a castle with ramparts. Very apt, considering the histories of both nations.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Happy sky watching.

beautiful pics!
ReplyDeleteI remember promises about some embassies moving to Jerusalem... But it always happened something on the way. Or so they said.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fortress.
ReplyDeleteThe top shot is very dramatic, nice work.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rachel. The lighting really makes a difference. I'm glad there's friendly relations between the countries.
