Amidst sky and ground, above tree tops...

Amidst sky and ground at nahal (wadi) Katiaa at the slopes of Mt. Carmel near Haifa. Stirring adventures awaits adventurers who dare cross the two bridges hovering above the tree tops.

Mr. Jones and I on hovering bridges

Driving to Nesher park planning to cross the two suspension bridges. Thinking about a virtual adventurer named Indiana Jones. Reflecting on his vigor clash on a bridge high above the abyss.


I arrived at Nesher park at high noon.The sun is vividly pounding light, standing by for a photo shoot. Equipped with my camera I am ready to engage my adventure with suspension bridges. As walking along the track I glance at the bridge hovering above the trees of nahal (wadi) Ka'ti'ah.


Bridges are very symbolic installations. First thing you hope that the bridge will hold position at least in the duration that you pass upon it.



In addition, you ask yourself where I am coming from and where I am going to.


On lane back to the parking lot, I perceived this impression:



The tree in the center has two V shaped branches. One rises toward the sky, the second is perpendicular toward the white towering building in the background. A Victory Tree signaling urban spread - nature will prevail.



Nature in the city. Right corner of the image Haifa University tower skywards on a ridge of Mt. Carmel. Recall Mr. Jones? He has a new adventure going on.
