Dressing the poles

.
The tram/light rail is making progress toward its predicted April completion date.
All up and down Jaffa Street I saw cosmetic touches being made, before my very eyes!

The poles that will supply the overhead electricity for the trams got beautified!
First the two workmen wrapped a skirt around the base.
.
Then, with drill in hand, they wrapped her--I mean IT--with the top part of the crenelated skirt that slid down and got tucked into the base
.
Ta-da!
Complete with beautiful decoration--the lion of Judah, symbol of the Jerusalem Municipality.

  2. That looks very neat, especially the skirt and the city crest add a lot. Yet grey can be such a dull and hard urban color... do you think it fits the city, Dina?

  3. I really like this kind of reportage about how things are done. Most of our poles are decorated in the same way. Love the lion of Judah...
