Still more pictures from the urban hike. The mediterranean sea can be a popular vacation destination, also in winter. I hope that some tourists came back to Tel Aviv after the war in the summer.

A Flower and a Splinter
Two more pictures from last week’s urban trip. Both focus on a close object taking attention from the blurred background.
A sunny winter day in Tel Aviv
It’s probably the third straight week of non stop sunshine. The weathermen are worried, but I don’t like rainy days, so I’m quite content. Tif, Idan and Tali, fresh friends that I’ve recently met through the Free Hugs campaign, and myself went for an urban trip. The official goal was taking photos, and of course it ended up with lots of talking, and eating of course.
I’ll do some photo-posting, where I’ll feature some pictures. All the pictures that I’ve taken can be seen here.
The first ones are from my beloved Rotschild Avenue, in the heart of Tel Aviv.
Former Russian Embassy. Now Sothby’s auction house. It is shadowed by a modern office building.
 Rotschild Avenue, very close to my house.
Sweet Zionism
The names on the sugar bags are names of streets in almost every city in Israel. Not everybody knows about the people behind those names. So, someone decided to teach some history through the sugar bags in cafes. On one side (shown in the picture) you can see an illustration of the figure and the period he lived in. The other has a short description of his role in the Zionist movement or his life story.
The personas include Englishmen Balfur and Wingate, and also Albert Einstein. I didn’t find Hertzel’s sugar bag. It was probably consumed by the previous customers enjoying their tea or coffee.
The photograph was taken in “Gordon 17”, a cafe in Tel Aviv, located in the place’s address. BTW, they have interesting lectures about music every Monday night at 21:00 (entrance 10 NIS). More details in Hebrew here.
Colored sky during the sunset in Tel Aviv
After the sunrise from Massada, here is a sunset in Tel Aviv.
 
Lately I’m quite busy at work, so my blogging frequency has decreased. At least I have an excellent view from my desk in the office. Note that the window returns a reflection of the other computers in the office…
