israel in the very begining of summer was as sweden is maybe seldom in high summer.....
but this was not the only difference between the two.
It's quite naturally that i tend to focus on certain things no metter where i am, and that brought out some intresting results.
we traveled through south sweden from one camping to the other. it was our first time in life that we camped like in the movies, where families carry their home and live in the camping site for the summer.
nevertheless, as temporal as it will be, still it looks as if this temporal tent is more fixed and stable than this house in neve-tzedek in tel-aviv.
this one house on the left... i think it's one of the most stranger things i saw in my life. or at list in the field of architecture.
black house.
but when it comes to trees... well...
look at those sophisticated and quite complicated, knotty trees!
they have for sure a very fixed connection to the land.
and compare their stability to these fine trees from sweden.
talking about complexes and connection...
i mean... how do they survive?
they really must have a very high durability there, in israel.
no cabels.
almost.
complexity is anyway the second name of israel...
i'm not sure that simplicity is the right word to use for the swedes, but for sure it's less visual overloaded.
even this pop-up-park, what suposed to be quite temporal or spontan - seems to be so tidy and considarably designed.
but, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are, the swedes, less creative or humorless...
what made me laugh again and again all along the way through sweden are those mailboxes, standing on the road when the house itself is way back in the woods or god knows where.
sometimes the houses where around, but these very individual mailboxes standing close to each other still looked very funny and spacial to me.
i took pictures of them again and again
and again.
mostly i wanted to meet a moose,
for the record, let's just say i saw kind of a black moose in a yellow field :|
seeing a cat in tel aviv is somehow easier...
both countries nevertheless have sea---
in one of the two countries i didn't dare to enter the frozen water... :/
sorry, but i'm also not the right one to inform you about the best cafe, best coffee shops ever, best place to eat this or that or the outstanding patisserie...
in israel, as a culinary empire, it will be always tasty anywhere you'll go to eat.
in sweden we had the best coffee ever that we brought from home (and the best barista ever ;))
we cooked for ourselves and it tasted always great.
and from time to time did enjoy good coffee with a good cake here and there.
but i can inform that the nature in sweden is like a long lasting meditation---
that suddenly out of nowhere in stockholm i saw a sculpture of niki de saint phalle
and there was no one happier than me at that moment---
and that the sun was seen in both countries and gently accompanied us along.
