A Small Collection of Photos from Tel Aviv

This is down a small side street in Old Jaffa. Even small street corners like this are gorgeous. 
This is in Dizengoff house, otherwise called Independence Hall. From here, in 1948 David Ben Gurion proclaimed the state of Israel underneath a portrait of Theodor Herzl.


Rabin Square, known as a meeting place for activists and a place for demonstrations. Formerly known as Kings of Israel Square, it was renamed after Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated here in 1995.
The Yitzhak Rabin memorial, located just south of Rabin Square to commemorate his life following his assassination.


All photos taken by me.
