Greetings.
Jewish date: 19 ’Adhar Sheni 5771 (Parashath Shemini).
Today’s events: International Waffle Day, Pecan Day,
International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the
Transatlantic Slave Trade (UN),
Independence Day (
Greece,
Cyprus).
I think I am going to be going through the collection of pictures I have taken here in
Israel but have not shown to anyone.
These are photographs of the
Coca-Cola plant in
Bene Beraq. Notice that the architect got somewhat silly and made several buildings look like soda cans.
Caption: The last thing the
White King expected was to be assaulted by black pawns on Lassale Street in
Tel ’Aviv.
This actually is Lassale Street in Tel ’Aviv, but these are not chess pieces. Rather, they are part of a barrier system to keep vehicles and pedestrians separate. They have these all over Israel, but few look as much like chess pieces as these ones.
This last one is more puzzling that strictly weird. This is a mouse or other rodent which showed up right outside of synagogue recently. (And I apologize for the picture quality, but I do not take my high-quality camera everywhere with me, and I had the choice of using my cell phone under suboptimal conditions or not photographing the rodent at all.) What I do not understand is why the rodent let me photograph it rather than running for its life. (Humans are huge compared with most rodents and thus very dangerous to them.)
Enjoy, share the weirdness, and
Shabbath shalom.
’Aharon/Aaron
