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.

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.

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!

One with lots of nice, warm, glowing colors. And a big, juicy palm tree to prove we’re in Israel. I love sunsets! And Israel has some stunning sunsets…

The picture was taken by Tomer L. Makiyes, an art photographer from Pardes Hanna in Israel. He has some awesome shots in his collection, go check them out!

The picture was taken by Neta Gov, a photographer from Tel Aviv, who has some great shots in her Flickr stream, as well as on her own site.

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.

Delicacies that I personally can’t stand, but they are everywhere in this part of the world (for example you might see them in a pub, served as munchies alongside your beer), so sometimes you’ve just got to chew and smile…

The picture was taken by tamarmosh, a Tel Aviv female bartender (so can understand where she got the inspiration for this shot!). She’s got some powerful people shots in her collection!

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…

It’s pretty darned hot there these days, as summer kicks in, so if you’re heading in that direction, cover yourself up and drink lots of water. But this picture was taken at sunrise and has a great, cooling effect…

Highly recommended to click this to make it big - really, go click! It was taken by Avi Morag, who has some gorgeous shots in his stream, and who was featured here, almost a year ago.

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.
