As explained in the previous post, one of Friday's Jane's Walk walks went down into Beer Sheva's ancient quarry.
Guide Shir had us play some nature games, e.g. each of us had to find something natural that interested him/her and collect eight examples of it.
A botany student came up with a flower in different stages of development.
The geology student found a flint that had been knapped thousands of years ago.
Always attracted to spirals, I brought dry snail shells.
And then we arranged them on the earth into a mandala!
Click on the photo to see it well.
Long live this ancient quarry and long live these nice young people who love the earth and our Land!

A spiral of progress
.
When I worked at Beilinson Hospital (near Tel Aviv) back in the mid 1980s, it was pretty much three or four old buildings.
I went back a few days ago and was astounded to see how Beilinson Medical Center has mushroomed!
They even have a beautiful sculpture garden in the middle of the campus.
Such a graceful bench spiral.

Woman and watermelons in water
.
Look at the rapt attention of these kids to an 11-minute DVD projection at the Israeli section of the new fine-arts wing at Israel Museum!
You too can be mesmerized by a 7-minute video of DeadSee .
Artist Sigalit Landau (born 1969) explains her DeadSee creation:
(The woman with watermelons in water is for W-day at ABC Wednesday. And the spiral is a gift to blog-friend Cloudia of Comfort Spiral in Hawaii.)

Artist Sigalit Landau (born 1969) explains her DeadSee creation:
A cord of two hundred and fifty meters penetrates five hundred watermelons forming a six meter spiral raft in the saturated salt waters of the Dead Sea. The spiral turns as a whirlpool reversed from it s normal direction.
I am floating locked inside the spiral layers between the center and the periphery of the sweet raft. I am reaching out against the direction of the turning raft towards a small area in the spiral where the fruit is wounded, red and exposed like myself to the sting of the salt. The salt solution of the dead sea enables everything to float on its illusive surface. The spiral gradually becomes a thin green line abandoning the viewer.
The film was shot in mid August 2004 in the area of Sdom south of Masada .
