Picture of the Week LXXII
Time to head back to the beach…for a September beach scene (actually taken this week by Shlomi Kremer), the type I love most! Lots of clouds, lots of sun, great sunsets, it’s all there in September.
Click to big – did I mention I love those clouds!
Picture of the Week LXIX
Time for some sunset action from Tel Aviv beach, but we’re not really heading there for the sunset this week. It’s all about the timing in this one…
The picture was taken by Shay Sapir, who has some very fine pics of Israel, mostly Tel Aviv street scenes, in his collection.
Picture of the Week LXII
Sunset season over here in Israel, and when mixed with the beautiful beaches of Israel (this shot is from Herzliya beach, just down the road from Tel Aviv), you can’t really go wrong. As for the guy in the pic: you often see these guys go out on their longboards, they’re usually the lifeguards who are out paddling when things are quiet on the beach.
The pic was taken by Dan2007, a guy from Tel Aviv. You know what I’m going to say next, right…? That’s right, go check his photostream out!
Picture of the Week LIX
This week we’re off to the beach in Tel Aviv, but with a little bit of a religious twist. Nothing like a bit of religion in the Holy Land, eh? Yep, even the religious get to dip their toes in the Med – or do they? To tell you the truth, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them dip their toes anywhere, probably down to a modesty prohibiting thingeemajib.
Anyway, the pic was taken by Paulina Sza, a lady from Warsaw/Tel Aviv who has some mighty fine people shots in her stream. Go see.
Picture of the Week LVII
This week it’s time for a return to Tel Aviv beach. In fact, the funkiest beach in Israel. And one of those awesome sunset shots that just get you going “mmmmmmm….”.
The picture was taken by the mysterious Shachar Laudon – who is genderless and homeless according to Flickr. Me, I think Schahar is female…
Picture of the Week LV
As summer clicks into gear, here’s a great shot of a typical seafront scene in Israel in Any Town (but probably taken in Tel Aviv because I think only Tel Aviv promenade has that special spiral paving). The beaches are usually packed at the weekend, and through July and August also mid-week, and prove a great attraction and social gathering point for friends, family and lovers alike. The scene below will be played over countless times in the coming weeks…
The picture was taken by Simply Boaz, a guy from Jerusalem who has some great shots of his home town in his collection.
Feel it hot, hot, hot! But no swimming in the sea please…
It might only be March, and some parts of Europe may well be still covered in snow, but over here in Israel it’s piping hot. Yesterday it hit the 30s in Tel Aviv, while in Ein Gedi (next to the Dead Sea) it reached 38C. Today the mercury’s expected to reach similar heights, although tomorrow there’s quite a drop in temperatures expected. Not quite thermal-season, but you might have to pack your flip-flops away for a few days…
But of course, as soon as it gets all hot and steamy in the Holy Land, there’s a catch. And it’s a cracker. As you strip off at Tel Aviv beach and relish the thought of the cool Mediterranean water rippling all over your hot, sweaty body, watch out for that guy screaming and waving at you like a wild thing. He’s actually an inspector and he’s there to stop you having fun.
OK, he’s actually there to help stop you drowning. Because all Tel Aviv lifeguards are in Eilat this week partying on a course. Why they couldn’t have reserve batch of lifeguards, or do the course in shifts, or heck, even do the course in Tel Aviv, we’ll never know. So just watch out if someone looks like he’s about to rugby-tackle you as you head for the water…
Picture of the Week XLIV
As the sun beats down over Israel this weekend (it’s been hitting the 30s this week!), it’s time for one of those magical sunny evening moments. The sun has just set, a warm breeze is still blowing, and you and your mate just want to chill out on the promenade somewhere. Flip-flops off off course. Great shot!
The picture was taken by Shai Rachamim, a guy from Ramat Gan who has some great stuff in his Flickr collection. He has been featured before on igoogledisrael, remember this?
