Gone to the Dogs

Park Meir is a very unique park. It's divided into a few sections. A playground for children, a grassy area for relaxing and getting that "park" atmosphere and a dog park section. As you can see from the photo the dogs just love the doggie park and have lots of cool ramps and things to play on.

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.

White City - Olive Tree

Part II of the White City sculptures. This sculpture is a white dome with an olive tree growing through the center - very unusual.

Not Quite Trafalgar Square

I was walking down King George Road this morning, when I looked down an alleyway and noticed this lion next to an old apartment block. I've never seen it before - shows how observant I am. I asked a couple of people in the vicinity who put the lion there and why and they explained that an artist used to live in the apartments and he constructed the lion. It was to represent a symbolic period of time for him.

I also found a coffee/book shop next door too. Perfect for chilly days.
