"“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.”"

I'm in lack of time to update this blog. I really like my own blog tho I'm not sure about who else is interested in it. So, this is a place of my 'own'. However, still.... I seem to lack the time to get more involved here (except for placing photos delayed)...


Last week:

I walked all the way to the sea and back last week. The weather was lovely. The sights idem-ditto. I met an old acquaintance -a fisherman I spend time with in 2008 during my Beachdiary1 time) - he looked different, destructed. At last he told me his wife had died 3 weeks ago. Of course that is something that will get a person less joyful about life. He keeps on fishing.... These are the views:

There were several raindrops that kept hanging on to the leafs of the trees and plants, this is one of them:

I stroked the mos in the next picture. It was as soft as velvet and even better:

These are flowers on a bush growing practically ON the river. I have a lot more that I took today of this bush. For now this is here:

Time for Update :-)

It's not that I've been sitting still... It's just that I haven't had a lot of time (or wanted to) update here. But, here we go anyway:

TODAY:

in Jerusalem (yes, again hahaha)

the view from when I was walking around the compound looking out at the 'greater' Jerusalem while it rained:

the Western Wall was quite desolated though I gotta admit the women turned up in surprisingly larger numbers than did men. It's my conclusion that the fact that a significantly larger part of the wall was designated to the male population is a complete mistake. there are ALWAYS more women there than that there are men and I find it quite discriminating they were appointed a smaller portion of the Wall. Which just shows you: logics or being fair has nothing to do with it - it's a male dominant world and that's it.

The sun broke through for a few minutes and though he did put up a fight he lost against the grey blanket skies - but it felt quite spiritual when he did try to lighten things up through a small hole in the skies:

At the Shuk, where I did get to buy the house-slippers I tried to find -in vain- two weeks ago, this arch with something that resembled very much a kinda dump caught my eye. Nobody else (of the very few tourists) paid attention to it:

At the way back I noticed the outer wall was full of these kinda outlook points in the form of an arch with a slit ... big enough to stretch a weapon through...

And then there was this little flowers hanging out of one of the windows of the buildings right at the edge of "old city"
