A walk in Jerusalem

Yesterday I took some photos of a path I very frequently walk - along Emek Refaim St. towards the apartment where I'm staying. Some images from that walk:


This shows a frequent graffito around here - בשר = רצח, "meat=murder," presumably referring to the eating of meat. Another local graffito, for which I unfortunately don't have a photo: צמחונות מצילה חיים - "vegetarianism saves life."


This is a local shop that sells prepared goodies, including stuffed grape leaves, various cheeses, smoked fish, etc.


48 Emek Refaim St., a Realtor.


A plant store, also selling lots of flowers - see below.


Flowers for Shabbat.


Cafe Hillel - a plaque marking the suicide terrorist attack in which 7 people were killed.


Flowers in the window of Pizza Meter, an Israeli pizza chain.


A bicycle, chained to the fence that prevents people from parking their cars on the sidewalk (I am not making that up, it's a frequent plague in Jerusalem that forces pedestrians to walk on the street).


The gate of a house on Yehoshua bin Nun St.
