2 Posts and a Mystical City

We're going to try something new at CSVMAD. As you may have noticed, photography is one of my favorite hobbies. That being the case, I've decided that I'm going to post some of my favorite photographs every once in a while (how concrete of me). If you click on the photograph, it will open up huge in your browser so you can take a better look at it. I'd love comments if you have them.
Also, shameless plug for my friend Ron who has created a website: Photodef. It's a photograph-based dictionary and it's really cool and original idea. Check it out. Most 'Def' (pun intended).

Just to give a little briefing on the picture: This was taken in the historically mystical village of Tzfat (known as Safed) in the northern part of Israel. The city has retained much of its richness and "oldness". It's a very traditional place, complete with religious graffiti and clouds billowing from the valley below. Tzfat is the city where the now-famous Kabbalah is believed to have originated.
It's definitely one of my more favorite places to go in Israel: it is so vibrant with a spiritual energy that cannot be described. Whenever I walk the cobblestone streets, I can't help but feel a greater being at work.
Enjoy.
