Ish:ra:el:
Israel. What can you say? History, religion, politics collide hard. Mountains of Jordan brooding, push menacingly in from behind.
אביבתל
Short but intense work trip to Tel Aviv. Smart, towering, seafront hotel. Purest, clear, bottled-water sea.

| Only 98 years old, growing up fast -Tel Aviv seen from neighbouring Jaffa |
Jerusalem vibe - unsettled, paraplegic, trapped, claustraphobic. Male-dominated, yet not mysogynistic.
 |
| Via Dolorosa, now with security |
יפו
Jaffa calmer but with underlying cautious contrasts. Spiked cactus, soft cat.
המערבי
Western Wall tight, hard, tired, soft, strong, safe, rhythmic, wailing.

"If I gave up my arms could you teach me...
....how to be happy?
Just give me your love no matter what!"
