I was working in Israel but we had Saturday off for a tour of Haifa and Akko and so we began with the Bahai Gardens and an overview of the city. From the top of the hill we looked down at the gardens
temple
gardens
and the city below
with the clearly delineated street through the German Colony
and then we entered the gardens where the flowers
and statues
and gates
with warning
provided a different set of views of the gardens
and city down to the water
as I recorded flowers
ever present crows
lawns
and trees of various sorts
|
before we drove to the bottom of the hill and looked up at what we had just seen
settling in the German Colony
before heading to the walls of Akko
and looking at the castle
and the area between the walls where Napoleon
s soldiers were trapped.
After studying the maps of the city
and a city plan
we headed for the crusader latrines
which were well marked
and documented
and explored the architecture
before heading out to look at the mosque
and then making our way to a place to eat
by the water
before recording yet another post office sign
not to mention this wonderful sign for the collection.
We then went by the church which was marked with interesting icons
and looked down at the wedding
before recording this well decorated car of protest
and watching a fisherman try to catch his dinner.
