The old city of
Jaffa, just south of Tel Aviv, is full of winding streets and odd
corners. I took this shot on Mazal Dagim
St. (which means, Sign of
the Fish), just as
this couple
was opening up their store.

A while back, I posted a beach
shot, Tel Aviv Back Then, showing the
Tel Aviv beach "scene" in 1971. Well, things have changed a bit, as
this 2009 shot shows. Tel Aviva's LOVE the beach, and this shot is
focused on a Thursday
afternoon crowd.

"Jerusalem bagels" are like regular bagels,
only about 2 feet (60 cm)
long. Because each one makes a meal for2 or 3 (or 4?) people, I
never did eat one, but
however they may taste, they
make for fascinating
photos. They are sold all over Jerusalem, though I don't recall seeing
them elsewhere in Israel.

Mahane Yehuda, about a kilometer (0.6 mile) west of the Old City and close to the
central bus station, is a huge outdoor covered market. It's always busy (except on
Saturdays, of course), but on Friday afternoon it's especially jammed as people
rush to buy food for the Friday evening meal, the start of Shabbat (Sabbath). In the WS is a shot of challah, the classic Shabbat
bread.

The photo was shot at the Baha'i gardens in Haifa. The gardens, located
in Haifa, comprise a staircase of nineteen terraces extending all the way up the northern slope of Mount Carmel. The golden-domed Shrine of
the Babb, the resting place of the Prophet-Herald of the Baha'i Faith,
stands on the central terrace, looking across the bay towards ‘Akko.

The Old City streets may be best seen in the morning, when the light and shadows are
strong, but the place is not yet crowded with tourists. I was
checking out this typical street -
typical in that it is narrow and NOT
flat - watching the storekeepers start to open up, when I saw this Orthodox Jew coming up the
street. I waited until he stepped into the sunlight so that his hair
and beard would be backlit. I have no idea what the
young guy is doing sitting in
the middle of the street.

Durex products are
manufactured and
commercialized by a company
called SSL International, a
British multinational.
1,000,000,000 units are
manufactured every year, in 17
factories worldwide.
Their global market share is
about 25%, leading in many countries but in the US they are number 2, after
"Trojan".
The name means "DUrability, Reliability,
EXcellence".

Truth... Compassion... Tolerance...& Falun Gong

They are not dancers or singers.
In silence, this large group was doing spiritual exercises,
apparently in great meditation, as a soft voice coming from the
speakers constantly said: "Peace... Compassion...
Tolerance..."
This discipline is called "Falun Gong", founded in China quite
recently, in 1992, as a variation of traditional "qigong" practices.
For some reason the activity is illegal and subject to persecution
in China.

Today, shorts are worn by either sex from birth through old age without any stigma
attached.
But historically, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, shorts were worn as outerwear only by young boys. Because of this, men
would not wear shorts to avoid looking immature.
There are many styles of shorts. In the US "shorts" can also refer to underwear.
