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 LXVIII

This week I’m heading down the road from my house for a shot of the magnificent Sea Of Galilee. Every time I head down towards the Sea of Galilee (or the Kinneret as it’s known in Hebrew) I’m reminded of past holidays and long drunken weekends, so it will always hold some magical memories for me. Ahem, there’s absolutely no proof of anyone spotting me, early morning, kipping on the traffic islands near Tiberias back in the late-90s. It’s all lies. Lies I tell you!

This picture (go on, click to big!) was taken by andy_deitsch, a guy with some stunning shots in his collection.

Picture of the Week LXVII

Staying in the desert region of Israel for another week, this week’s pic is a fine shot taken down south somewhere. Not sure exactly where, but it reminds me of “golden hour” evenings spent in Eilat, with the moon already out (can you spot it?) and the Jordanian mountains in the background taken on a pink glow for a few minutes. It’s the little details in this one…

The picture was taken by the awesome Miro42 / Meir Ben Ari, a guy from Haifa who has some truly stunning shots in his collection.

Picture of the Week LXVI

This week we trek down to the dusty south, for some desert canyony goodness. This pic is from Nahal Vardit, a small and cute creek in the southern Negev desert. If you’ve never been to the Negev, you really should check it out for some wonderful desert scenery. Especially spectacular in the morning or late evening hours.

The pic was taken by Chani14, a lady from Yuvalim, a small town in the Galilee.

Picture of the Week LXV

This week we’re off to Tel Aviv again, with a nice shot of Tel Aviv Port, one of the most happening places in Israel at the weekend. Lots of things to see and do here, including a great little Farmer’s Market on Fridays.

The picture was taken by lev glick, a guy from somewhere in Israel with some very nice shots in his collection. You know what to do…

Picture of the Week LXIV

Off we go to Jerusalem again this week, with a quick peek into life in the bazaar in the Old City. It’s a Friday evening and all is quiet and relaxed…

The picture was taken by Jonas Hansel, a guy from Holland who looks like he was on holiday here a couple of years ago. Click to big to get the full effect.

Picture of the Week LXIII

This week’s pic is of one of the most well-known landmarks in the Holy Land the world, the Dome of the Rock. This Islamic shrine that sits on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is in fact the oldest Islamic building in the world. Personally I’ve never stepped inside but have walked around the courtyard outside, camera a-flashing.

The picture was taken by Serithian, who has some mighty fine HD pics from all around Israel in his photo stream. Well worth checking out.

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!
