Jaffa

I decided to take advantage of a university holiday in June and go to the beach. I really just wanted to leave the tension-center that is Jerusalem and go somewhere nice, relaxed, secular, and non-kosher. So Jaffa/Tel-Aviv was the destination of choice.

The thing that struck me most about Jaffa was the color. It was everywhere, in many very random places, and made the seaside metropolitan area seem like a small seaport town with old houses and wonky colors. With a bit of post-processing, the color really popped out. These pictures, to me, are exciting and tell lots of stories about the Arab-Israeli town of Jaffa.

And if you don't know their stories, you can imagine some of them...
