ONE COLOR is our challenge for today's City Daily Photo bloggers' Theme Day.
This blue "artwork" is signed in the lower corner by Israeli artist Dan Chamizer.
He lives in Ein Hod, an artists' colony at the foot of Mount Carmel.
The funny part is that right next to it are the actual post boxes for the residents of the village.
The title on top explains why certain animals inhabit the boxes.
"Doar Acharit HaYamim" means Post at the End of Days, meaning, how it is supposed to be --allegorically -- in the future Messianic Era.
The prophet Isaiah says in chapter 11, verse 6 that
The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion will graze together, and a little child will herd them.You can see this verse in the famous Isaiah scroll of the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls here:

ReplyDeleteperiod in history, and the saddest part of it is:”It is not over yet, and never will !” But people like you can make a difference for the better.
Happy Pesach to you also!
ReplyDeleteI like this artwork a lot, especially the meaning of the figures in the boxes. The state of the world worries me very much. I was so tempted to get an 'elephant keeper' shirt for my grandson too Dina, in fact I really regret not doing so ☺
