Red face Tel Aviv from Far Away (yep, again but there some really good ones)

More views of Tel Aviv from Far Far Away in the Samaria Mountains in the
West Bank
Check it out in my pbase gallery


So, It was a clear day after the rain and i felt like it will be good to go up the
Shomron and find some nice views of the coast, well, in Israel doing such a
thing requires crossing checkposts and walls, winding roads along arab towns
and jewish settlements and even though the fresh air and hills and olive trees
and silence, it is far from being pastoralic or quaint or anything, this is the
freaking west bank which is quite like the wild west, although it's been quite
quiet the past year or two, the arabs still hate the guts out of us and wish
to have us test our swimming skills back to europe across the mediterrenean
and with so much security enforcement by our side, i guess being an arab
in the west bank is as bad as trying to fly in an American airline, only doing so
every day.

And given thousands of words were spoken about this situation, and given the
proven fact that one picture worth a thousand words, let's get onto it, shall we?


Driving up the Shomron, my girlfriend took some nice shots through the window
i don't know why it is, but everytime we were in the territories we all got angry
and started arguing, maybe the land is just cursed and everyone in there are
supposed to be fighting...

This is a common view across the territories, palestinians yellow taxi minibus



typical terrain


typical arab village





and now we got to a settlemnt called 'Ateret' it's in the very middle of the
territories, on a huge hill, that's the view from there







near the road near Halamish


Now that's the Israeli flag in the sunset


Now, let's get to the "Tel Aviv from Far away" buisness







A memorial to an Israeli soldier was murderd here on his way home, his mother
was badly injured


Views from Ofarim settlement





Scrll--->>>>>



I really like that one, i call it, "Tel Aviv from Samaria, So close yet so far away"
scrl----->>>>>



It's getting late and we don't wanna have to drive in those lonely freghtning
roads at night so..


I guess it's time to get back there, to the big city, the bubble
scrl--->>>>>





Oh.. Shomron
SCrl--->>>>>



That's It

oh, i got one IMG template copy left, so --

Bonus!!
Tel Aviv from Peduel on last November, that's also in the Samaria





Well, that's been a long strange trip, PEACE OUT AMIGOS, try looking at the bright side of life
