a heavy fog advanced earlier this month from the sea into Tel Aviv and covered the city. Low clouds and heavy fog covering the city might be a regular scene in San Fransisco, but it is very unusual to have such a scene in Israel.
The heavy fog started suddenly on Thursday afternoon, where people working in the city skyscrapers observed huge low clouds coming from the sea, probably from Cyprus and slowly advancing into the city. For some people this was a shocking scene that was seen only in movies like “the day after“. The fog stayed all night across the shoreline and refused to go anywhere. In the next three days there was no wind, so these low clouds didn’t go anywhere.
Here is how the this square look like on a normal day, where you can observe the Mediterranean sea:
The center plaza in the photo is Kikar Hamedina plaza that was designed by the international architect Oscar Niemeyer. Tel Aviv has several major plazas and the best known are Rabin Square, Dizengoff Circle and HaMedina Square – translated into the State Square.
Below is a quick Tel Aviv photo collection of Tel Aviv – every image is clickable.
see you soon with more fog photos,
Thank you,
