Carlsberg, anyone?

Apparently, Carlsberg and football go hand in hand.

Orange Trees

Quite a few streets in the center are lined with orange trees. They're lovely and full of fruit at the moment. It's so nice to see colour during these grey winter months.

Tel Aviv Museum of Art

I liked the view of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art through this sculpture. Isn't the sculpture great?!

Wispy Clouds

Another Old Building

OK, it's a bit dilapidated, I know. But I really like the arch windows and the shutters. It has quite a bit of character.

One Foggy Morning

Today was forecast to be 22+ degrees celsius. But when I woke up this morning and looked out expecting to see blue skies, this is what I saw. Fog! But it cleared up within an hour and it's a lovely day (blue skies and all) and is very warm. Ah, Tel Aviv winters - got to love 'em!

Who Let the Goths Out?

We have a new Gothic clothing store in town. I didn't even know that the Gothic look was back!! :-)

Zodiac Mosaic

In response to Felicia's request on my post of 16 January, the Wishing Bridge, here is a photo of the zodiac mosaic in Jaffa. I couldn't get the whole zodiac in as it's huge. But I'll go back some time soon and try. In the meantime, I hope this suffices.

An Old Door Near the Shuk (Market)

Dizengoff Center

Dizengoff is the heart of Tel Aviv. Dizengoff center was Tel Aviv's first shopping center built in 1977. It's still going strong and is especially busy on Thursdays and Fridays when the bottom floor is turned into a huge food fair.

Glitter Loo Seat, Anyone?

Apparently, these are all the rage! I passed about 4 different bathroom shops advertising glitter loo seats. Oh, and they're available in gold too. Think Liberace...

Sunset in Jaffa

This is a view of a shipwreck (I believe) close to Jaffa.

An Old Apartment Block

This is an old apartment block near the shuk (market) in Allenby.

Enjoying the Winter Sun

Here's a woodpecker stretching his wings and warming himself in the winter sun. I just thought he was cute.

The Wishing Bridge

There's a bridge in Jaffa called the Wishing Bridge. Legend has it that if you stand on the bridge, holding your zodiac sign, facing the sea, your wish will come true. There's a mosaic with all the signs of the zodiac nearby - where you can make your wish.
