A delightful thing has been happening in our area for the last few years (perhaps even all over Israel, can any of my Israeli readers fill me in?). Those ugly gray utility cabinets you (used to!) see all over town have been getting facelifts by local artists and high school art students, and what a change it has made. Instead of seeing something ugly and utilitarian we get to see these instead:

This one is a favorite of mine. I love the quote on the right-hand side: The Modern Age began the day that Nature became Scenery. (The left side says "The Wheels of Time in the Streets of the Galaxy".)

I have a photo of one from Tsfat and one from Jerusalem. Yours are "funkier". Look forward to seeing your Ruby Tuesday.
Here's my two utility box photos, in this post: Art in Israel
Love those Chinese looking birds. And the Wheels of Time bit reminds me of the Yellow Submarine.
So interesting, I love this kind of public project. Can't wait to see the Ruby Tuesday version!
Those are truly awesome. Oh, the power of art to make our lives better and our landscape more interesting.
Those are beautiful!
Just goes to show that a little bit of color and a lot of imagination can do to create wonders for that very special something so dear to our hearts, leading up to those real happy moments which last a lifetime!
Oh I like this so much
Hi i stumbled onto you blog and i love this. I love the woman lighting Shabbos candles. What is in these utility boxes?
Thank you Sheva, and welcome. To answer your question, some are for the telephone infrastructure, others for electricity, etc.
