Circumstances found me in Bayit Vegan, looking towards Hadassah and the hills of the Jerusalem Forest…
It’s big red public art and the Jerusalem Light Rail…
That’s Yad Vashem in the distance…
This is the end of the light rail line, with coordinating bus stations.
The forested hills were forested through the efforts of the Jewish National Fund, meaning the first generation of the trees you are seeing were all PLANTED by HAND – reforesting Jerusalem.
What a view!
Here The red sculpture was the last piece from Alexander Calder. It suppose to be be based on Yeshayahu (Isaiah) that "They shall beat their swords into plowshares"
