Tel Aviv in full summer bloom

Sorry for the abruptness of non-blogging for the last month, there are still Istanbul photos to come. I have spent the time in Tel Aviv, and not offline (the sharpeyed reader can see almost daily link updates to the left, if slightly jumbled chronologically...) but with limited access to my own digital files. So now a peek at the summer bloom of Tel Aviv, before returning to June's Istanbul visit. More to come though, including from a brief visit to Jerusalem, which I once called home.
