Photos of Israel

Tel Aviv Pigeon at Sunset

Isragirl Presents : Tel Aviv Pigeon, Photo by The Plucked Rat ©

My good friend, the Plucked Rat, who got me to start blogging, contributed this lovely photo taken from the roof of a Tel-Avivean apartment building. Pigeons are rats with wings, this is probably why he thought (being a rat an all…) that this picture is so romantic. But you know what? Tel Aviv is a romantic city, well, maybe not romantic, but defiantly sexy. Beaches, clubs, bars, cafes, small city gardens and parks and a whole lot of young people looking for fun – this is Tel Aviv, the city that never sleeps.

Jerusalem of Gold

Even though Tel Aviv is where the fun and beaches are, Jerusalem is still the most magnificent place city in Israel and the main reason for most people to visit Israel. You don’t have to be Jewish, Christian or Muslim to get very excited in Jerusalem, it is so beautiful, unique in its sanctity and inspiring. “Jerusalem of gold” is the name of a famous Israeli song about the holy city and its beautiful churches, mosques and old lime stone buildings.

Sea of Galilee Shore

I couldn’t resist it… I was raised on the shores of the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret, as we call it in Hebrew) and to this day I believe that the view from Mount Poriya, over looking the southern part of the lake, is the most beautiful scenery in the world (well maybe next to some places in the Himalaya). Take a day or two to enjoy this lovely part of Israel!!! (and keep the lake and its sounding clean, the lake is Israel’s main fresh water source….).

The Bahai Shrine and Gardens in Haifa

The Bahai shrine and gardens in Haife had become one of Israel’s main Tourisst Attractions and for a good reason, it is absolutely breath taking!!!! You don’t have to be interested in this esoteric religion (although you should) to enjoy the guided tour around the gardens and I strongly recommend to take the tour and not to photograph this world wonder from the out side….
