A New Year for Photos

It has been stormy in Israel the last week. Stormy weather and even stormier regional politics igniting on our doorstep. On both fronts, the outlook makes me want to stay inside.

The new year dashed into Tel Aviv. Rain finally came too, bringing much relief to this old, dried out desert.

An electric buzz in the neighborhood soon becomes apparent, as the sounds of an accordion fill the air with the sway of [...]
