In this picture Avir is in the gardens of Safra Square, as part of the City Hall complex in Jerusalem.
Spring time is a wonderful and colourful time to be in Safra Square as the flowers are at their best, and at the right time of day, the shadows are spectacular.
Avir is looking at a model of the whole City Hall complex, which highlights so many old and new buildings in this historic centre of Jerusalem. The city planers were careful to create a modern City Hall complex which blended into the architectural and historical character of the neighbourhood, as well as meeting the physical requirements a functional administration.
The site of the City Hall complex was chosen because it is the centre of Jerusalem between east and west, close to the Old City and Jaffa Road, one of the oldest and longest major streets in the city which leads to the town of Jaffa and the City of Tel Aviv.
Many of the City’s walking tours start from Safra Square which has the very regular and efficient Light Rail near-by.

Australian visitor to Israel, Avir is pictured looking over to Jerusalem. You can see the graves in the foreground. The Mt. of Olives has always been an important feature in Jerusalem’s landscape
Within Judaism and Christianity, the Mt of Olives plays an important role in the return of the Messiah, King of Kings.
From the 3rd millennium B.C. until the present, this 885 metre hill has served as one of the main burial grounds for the city. The 3200 metre long ridge has three summits each of which has a tower built on it. At the bottom of the slope is the Garden of Gethsemane.
Zechariah 14:4
On that day Messiah’s feet will stand
on the Mount of Olives,
which lies to the east of Yerushalayim; (Jerusalem)
