Shalom = Peace = Salaam
A decorated Armenian style ceramic plate was casted on a wall in an alley at the old city Safed.
Shalom (שָׁלוֹם) is a Hebrew word meaning peace, hello, goodbye and wellbeing. As it does in English, it can refer to either peace between two entities (especially between man and God or between two countries), or to the well-being, welfare or safety of an individual or a group of individuals. It is also used as a greeting to either say hello or farewell, and is found in many other expressions and names. Its equivalent cognate in Arabic is salaam and sälam

Safed, City of Kabalah
The allies of old Safed at noon time are almost empty aside from two Chabad Jews who hurry to their study center.
Chabad (or Habad) is the 3rd or 4th largest Hasidic section of orthodox Judaism. Its initials mean Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge (Hebrew for Chochma, Binah, Da'at).

The old quarter of the city is inhibited mainly by orthodox Jews, traditional, none religious, and artists. You can sense the mystic in the air, among its stones.

Khan Al-Omdan of Acre from a Whale's View
A whale statue rests on the breakwater of the Acre marine. A hole in his belly gave me an interesting shooting angle towards the clock tower at Khan Al-Omdan.
