Here we are once again, ready for your favorite little meme!
Here is the third and final batch of the windows and doors that I found in Tel Aviv, all those weeks ago (see part one and part two of three, if you're interested!).
We, the pedestrians and bicyclists, waiting at our respective crosswalks:
My destination (mm-mm!):
Did you catch the public water bowl for dogs, above on the right? How sweet! Tel Aviv seems to be the city that leaves no citizen behind...
Here's a closer shot of our little restaurant. It was delicious, by the way - highly recommended!
And a few shots walking back, after dinner:
All in all I had a great time! Tune back in next week for your regularly scheduled Jerusalem-area/Judean Hills photography :)

Welcome back to your favorite little meme!
Well, I have a few more photos I'd like to post from my trip to Tel Aviv a few weeks back, but I found myself on an unplanned trip to Jerusalem this morning, and actually got a very close-up shot of a building that I've liked for quite some time. So let's take a one week TA break, and check out this Jerusalem action:
This building is called Sha'arei Ha'Ir, which literally means City Gates, and it's located just down the street from the central bus station. I've always admired its gentle curve :)

Here's a little bit more from my Tel Aviv outing last week. What easily made the biggest impression on me were the bicycles - they had their own lanes, ala Amsterdam, and were available to rent all over the place:
The buildings were a fun combination of very old and very new. These photos were all taken on the same street:
But my very favorite were the intimate park benches - how sweet are those?
Awww...
Rock on, Tel Aviv!

I made a big pan of grilled vegetables this weekend. Not only was it delicious, it was beautiful, if I do say so myself! And so I couldn't resist taking a photo...
Lucky me, there's some lovely light playing over these veggies, so I'm taking the opportunity to post to Shadow Shot Sunday II, in addition to Ruby Tuesday II. Go check them both out, they're a lot of fun! Have a great week, everyone!
Last week in Tel Aviv, I looked up briefly, and was rewarded with this lovely, wispy light:

Welcome back to your favorite little meme!
I went to Tel Aviv last week for dinner and had a great time - and I found lots of very non-Jerusalem stone covered buildings for you all to see! Here's the first in my collection:
Nice, right? And quite different from my usual pickings :)

Welcome back to your favorite little meme!
I got temporarily lost in Jerusalem today - not a difficult task in a city where everything is white. Just before I figured out where I was, I came across this oh-so-intriguing building. When I pulled over to the side of the road to take a quick photo, I was thinking that I liked the random spacing of the windows - it's a cool, unexpected twist on the modern skyscrapers where everything looks the same, and there is no apparent difference between the different stories. But now, posting it here, I wonder if it's actually a message in Morse code? Does anyone out there know?
Maybe it says "stop reading this building?"
I thought I should get a closer shot of the windows, although there's not much detail to see, it's actually a little bit mesmerizing :)
Anyway, three cheers for getting lost and finding new buildings!

Here we are, back once more for your favorite little meme!
As you may recall, a few weeks ago was Yom HaAtsma'ut, Israel's Independence Day. Our entire country enjoyed a well-deserved vacation day, and my family decided to go and see the Israeli Air Force museum, near Be'er Sheva. It was a lot of fun! We got to see impressive airplanes:
Cute airplanes:
Really strange airplanes:
And more! If you haven't been to this museum, I highly recommend it - it was really interesting, and a lot of fun! And full of interesting windows and doors :)

Welcome back all, to your favorite little architectural meme!
Remember those windows and doors that we saw being built a few weeks ago? Well, things are developing from all sides, and they now have fancy sidewalks and a roof! This is so interesting...
What a pretty view!

I thought I had posted this already, but apparently I haven't, so here goes! This building near mine has a slightly mesmerizing shape to it, I really like how the balconies all slide between one another. You'll recognize some of these windows and railings from my Israeli flag collection, a few weeks back :)
(Sorry for the delay in this post, everyone. Last week the linking site gave me trouble, this week Blogger wouldn't let me upload photos until this morning. Photoblogs aren't much good without photos... anyway, sorry for your trouble, here's hoping next week is smooth sailing!)
Anyway...

I think I may have mentioned that my parents were amazingly generous, and bought me a big fancy camera, for my recent big round birthday. I'm still working on how to carry it around with me like I do my little camera, but meanwhile, I haven't had as many opportunities to use it as I'd like. Anyway... late this afternoon, I noticed the moon rising in the east, and grabbed my little camera. Pretty, right?
Suddenly it occurred to me that this was a great opportunity to try out my cool Canon Rebel, so I ran inside to get it. I tried to zoom to about the same distance, and got this:
But wait, it can zoom even further...
*and* I can play with where I focus...
This is fun - yay!

Here, we are once again, here at your favorite little meme!
A couple of weeks ago, my youngest daughter mentioned that they had received a tree house for the kids at her school. "Tree house?" I wondered, not sure what on earth she was talking about. And then when we came to the school for the science fair, we were greeted by this amazing, amazing thing. Just take a look for yourself!
It's an actual Lincoln Log house - wow! Now those are what I call worthwhile windows and doors :) I used to play with Lincoln Logs for hours when I was a kid - I get a kick imagining some gigantic people putting this together for my daughter's school :)
