17-5-2008

Saturday was a wonderful day. I had to think about my old blog-colleague Lirun because we had some serious waves here for Israeli standards and he's a fervent surfer....

On my way to the beach I saw a huge bird being stuck between the branches of a tree. I thought "right! I got you now" and was excited to have a chance to shoot some real serious bird.... but, of course, by the time I had my camera dug out from my backpack he got himself released and flew away. Soooooo disappointed.

The following photos are of:

1. the waves (doesn't show really they were 'angry' and playing up, but still a nice pic. I think)
2. something I see everytime on my way to the beach growing in a tree while I ain't got the faintest idea what it might be... sooo interesting.
3. the bird I am driving everybody crazy with trying to find out it's species.
4. the same bird taken today -19 may, near the shopping mall - for a clearer view, just in case someone might know the name and tell me.
5. the Ushishkin building that has been raped architecturally - just look at the horrid glass supplement on top of that building (it's on my way from the beach)
