I took a much needed sanity break to recharge my creative spirit yesterday and headed back to Jaffa, camera in hand. Winter is still refusing to show it's face but the magic of Old Jaffa was well worth braving the 90+ degree weather we've been having. I even got the chance to hand out a bunch of business cards to some tourists while I was there. Click here to see the first in my latest Jaffa series, or click on the tab Jaffa to see images from various creative wanderings.

Lovely shot! It doesn't show at all how HOT is was. :)
ReplyDelete90 degrees is way too hot for me. What a charming and quaint old street. Very inviting.
ReplyDeleteOh, delightful! I can understand how it is so tempting to take the camera and go. Love all the details - and the sign and the lamps show "modern" among the ancient.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit like the little cobbled streets in Italy !
ReplyDeleteThis is so fabulous .. I feel all the ancient spirits
ReplyDeletetrue, I can't feel the warm weather in this photo :) Love the framing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture!
ReplyDeleteMy RUBY link.
The counter diction here is wonderful, the old and the new combined
ReplyDeleteThe old world exists, with beautiful stone walkways, steps and buildings. The close quarters feel a few centuries old, and I can envision a throng of neighbors and retail in a wonderful, fun and lovely manner...
ReplyDeletei love the stone walls and floor. and weathered walls give out a warm ambiance.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo. I also like the contrast between the old and the new.
ReplyDeleteLove the shot, Robin! It's refusing to be winter here too... 60-65 degrees. I know it's not 90 degrees but it's been beautifully sunny. Great for photographing. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing looking corner of your world. And you photographed it beautifully.

I love the steps.
ReplyDeletevery nice shot, i like how it was framed. have a good week ahead!
ReplyDeletelove how the walkway seems to never end.
ReplyDeleteI love these stairs. Is there a reason they were constructed this way?
ReplyDeleteYour photoverse link doesn't work and I really wanted it to! It's okay though. I got there via your other link.
Yikes, thanks for the heads up Quilly! I've fixed this one and am checking the rest now.

ReplyDeleteRobin,
ReplyDeleteGood for you for taking a break. :)
I love the photo and the way the steps lead your eye to the light under the archway... so beautiful and almost mysterious looking!
Love it! Feel as if I could step right into the photo! Amazing compostition!
ReplyDeleteThe steps are inviting, and the reported weather, even more so. It is in the 70s here during the day, and I so miss summer.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous photo, Robin.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and omigod, I can't imagine pushing a stroller through there.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful photo,Robin!
