A Blue-Chrome Sky | An Israeli Poem - 27 December, 2025 A blue-chrome sky The rain, or rather the on-and-off deluge, has polished the skies to a bright chrome. Large clouds strive to hide our solid sun but the light pace like a hidden metronome Flood-filled grays tried its best to reign But the blue would often glow through Or at least sent a few bright rays Turning the storm clouds a lighter hue Dark and charcoal and ash-grey colours With loud noise and scary-looking shadows Eventually fracture over our ancient hilltops In Israel the melody of light never stops. Flood-filled grays tried its best to reign But the blue would often glow through Or at least sent a few bright rays Turning the storm clouds a lighter hue In Israel the melody of light never stops Zichron Yaakov, 27 December, 2025
The architecture found in Israel is pretty amazing.
People have been building here in the Holy land since ancient times. And they left some pretty amazing buildings from the times that they lived here in Israel.
From the Western wall in Jerusalem, churches,synagogues, museums to apartment blocks build in the Bauhaus style - there is some pretty interesting buildings to see. And while you look around you a bit and try and figure who and when these buildings were build, have a look at the amazing metal work found here in Israel.
But still - there seems to be a tradition of beautiful metal work here in Israel. I often wonder if there was a special metal work guild here that took pride in using the most intricate and amazing patterns. Did the old metal workers had fierce competition between them to be as creative as possible?
I really do not have the answers, but I still enjoy looking at the metal art that they have left behind.
If you come for a visit and tour around the country, keep an eye open for amazing metal work that enhances the buildings and houses here.

| Like mascara for building - the railings just make these balconies so much prettier |
The older type of building (built around the 1900's) have the most beautifully made and intricate balcony railings. And older houses will often show off an interesting gate or fence.
But even the modern buildings have beautiful railings, though most probably mass-produced. And probably also imported.
