Gaza day 4

This morning we went out to the end of the jetty to take a look at the Gaza harbor.

Fishing boat. Mondo generator on the front powers umpteen lights to attract fish at night.

After the last war, there was literally tons of rubble lying around. So, they trucked it out to the harbor and used it as riprap.

We saw these guys fishing for sardines using a net. No motors involved.

Feral cat on the jetty. He was intently watching the sardine fishermen. I get the feeling they occasionally throw him something.

At the end of the jetty.

I'm told this was an attempt to generate power from waves. They hung this thing off the jetty, and the up and down motion drove some hydraulics and a generator.

Next we headed into the old city, about a half mile inland. But first, it was time to pick up some falafel sandwiches at the local shop:

The local falafel sandwich shop. These guys were very proud of their automated machine that made the falafel, but I was impressed by how fast the humans were!

For Temira. A Gazan WSV.

This sculpture was built out of a captured Israeli APC. It's worth taking a close look at the details.

The gold district.

Repairing shoes, out in the street.

I thought this was an interesting juxtaposition. A moslem mosque, right next to an orthodox church. They have been neighbors for 1400 years. Both are in active use.

A WSV disguised as a BSV. Wish I could have gotten a better shot, but it was out a moving car window.

The long walk back into Israel. It's about 1km across a no man's land.
