Beach Civilization

When the sun shines in Tel Aviv –  people head to the beach – even if its January - and perhaps, for some, because it is January.

According to history – the advantages of  life in  the middle east region – or certain parts of it – can outweigh the disadvantages of occasional wars.

Even if the calendar may cause some confusion about what to wear.

Its still great for sunbathing. . . .

Or surfing  . . . .

Or playing  a racquet sport  . . . .

Or just walking on the beach  . . . .

and watching the surf wash up on the beach . . . . 

A healthy climate . . . with enlightened society . . . and a kosher diet . . .  creates a  Tel Aviv beach phenomenon which looks something like this . . . .    

And then this January day on a Tel Aviv Beach is wrapped up with a ribbon of orange  . . .

  . . . to  complete another stressful day in the conflict-ravaged middle east.
