You may have to enlarge this to see it is a bird. 

At the Artist's House of the Negev in the old part of Beer Sheva,  each of a handful of artists was given a dead tree and asked to give it life with art.
Now the trees are exhibited in the gallery's yard.

Ingrid Neuman called hers "Inyan shorshi," which could mean a matter of roots (or, of rootedness).

What the blazes is this?

 A strange thing in Beer Sheva.
I did a double take the first time I walked past it.
In my imagination this is how Moloch looked.

This is the other side.
In back of it you see the gray walls of the Brutalistic-style city hall.

Who can enlarge this photo and read the French?
Made in 1995 is what I can understand.

Giant horses in a Beer Sheva roundabout and an even taller army/police tower in the sky in back of them.

From the other direction.
