The way it was....

This is the same photo as yesterday taken a good few years ago! I don't know exactly what year it is, probably when the Clock Tower was first put up in the early 1900s.

Summer Time

Click on photo to enlarge

Israel's gone onto Summer Time now. So we're one step closer to summer, yay! This is the Clock Tower in Jaffa. The Clock Tower was donated by the residents of Jaffa and the villages of Judea to mark the 25th anniversary of the reign (31 August 1878 to 27 April 1909) of Sultan Abdulhamid II. The cornerstone was laid on 1 September 1900 and construction was completed in 1902 or 1903. Have a good weekend everyone!
