In 1957, photographer Paul Goldman portrayed the moment Ben Gurion did a handstand at the beach in Tel Aviv. On that same spot, today there is a statue depicting the iconic image on Frishman Beach in Tel Aviv. The statue was made by the German company Artilink Productions, and was placed by the company Zebra Sets.

Nice to decorate these otherwise rather boring houses along the beach with thematically fitting street art.

Comes in handy in summer when the heat goes up.

Ben-Gurion, the first prime minister of Israel, was an iconic figure in modern Israeli history. His influence on the country and its people was so monumental that many artists have captured it in their artwork of various forms. In 1957, the photographer Paul Goldman captured B-G doing a headstand on Frishman Beach in Tel Aviv. Residents of the area noted that it was not uncommon to see the prime minister doing such exercises on the beaches and yards near his home in the city. In 2015, the Tel Aviv Municipality put up this sculpture on the same beach where the original photo was captured, and it has since been a magnet for tourist photos and postcards.

The legend on the 'red' colour of the sandstone here: Many years ago, all the mountains in the world lacked colors and shades. The mountains turned to God and said, “Why we do not have colors like the birds, the butterflies, and the flowers. You gave all of them many different and beautiful colors, and only we, the mountains, are so gray and ugly …”? God listened to the mountains and decided to accept their request. He sent his angels, and they quickly painted the mountains. The polar mountains – In white color, the mountains in the desert – brown-yellow, the volcanoes – in black. So, the angels passed through the whole world and painted it with colors. When they reached the Eilat mountains, very little paint remained in their buckets. So, the angels decided to paint the Eilat Mountains in all the remaining colors: a little black, a little red and a little yellow. Therefore, the Eilat Mountains are the most colorful mountains in the world. (https://www.hike-israel.com/hikes/hikes-near-eilat/red-canyon-israel/#red)

Impressive sandstone canyon - more an advanced hike than real climbing (just some ladders essentially), but more than worth the effort to reach this slightly remote location.

funny sculpture

The sculpture is a humorous reference to Tel Aviv Mayor Shlomo. The promenade was originally laid out in 1939 as a narrow promenade above sea level. It was rebuilt in the early 1980s and named in honor of former Mayor Shlomo "Cheech" Lahat, who sponsored the project. This sculpture pokes fun at the official who led efforts to improve the promenade. www.jewishjournal.com: Acclaimed Israeli artist Zadok Ben-David's infamous vagina sculpture - er, "Beyond the Limit" - stands quite prominently at the central meeting point along Shlomo "Cheech" Lahat's seafront, towering over the crowds of half-naked beautiful people on Jerusalem Beach. Maybe as a gentle reminder of why we've all gathered so half-naked? https://www.artatsite.com/TelAviv/details/Ben-David-Zadok-Beyond-the-Limit-Cheech-Monkey-Prominade-Cheech-Beach-sculpture-modern-contemporain-Art-at-Site-Tel- Aviv.html

Even more beautiful than the view of the hotels is the view of the beach life and the sea.

Very nice Valley with deepblue Waterfalls. Very good refreshment after/during hiking.

The view in both directions (to the north and to Yaffa) with the hotels along the promenade and the golden beach in front looks great. Plus the view over the sea.

You will pass it when walking along the beach.

Quite mixed visitors along the beach - nice to see that multicultural live can be real.

An early part in the complicated history of the state Israel.

A bit further north is actually nicer
