Saturday begins on Friday in Israel. Almost nobody works since Friday morning and Shabbat, the day of rest and cessation of labors comes with sundown Friday. And so the new day begins in the evening but not in the morning. There is an explanation, and as always - cabbalistic (if you are interested in, let me know and I'll tell about). But it isn't an absolute true - we are a modern society and there is two calendar in Israel.
And now, take a walk with me along the elegant main avenue of Nahariya city - ha Gaaton Boulevard. It named after a small river - ha-Gaaton, which divides the street into two. Today the river is silent, the rain was small and you don't see the great effect as after the rainstorm.

I took first photo while it rain. The sculpture of rooster and the lawn in shape of Magen David (Star of David) are the parts of city's landscape design in front of municipality building. You won't find the traditional sculptures in Israel habitual to an "European eye" and it also is explainable. I didn't question yet the old city's residents, why exactly this one, but I'll ask in future.
And, certainly some photos of the street that stretches from Mediterranian Sea to the highway Akko-Nahariya and back.
