58 years later

And the sun is still setting in the West, oblivious to everything that has happened here since 1948.

Yesterday's sunset

Perhaps the biggest irony is that the sun is actually setting 'over' Tel Aviv. However, due to the pollution cloud, the city can't be seen (from here) except on clear nights. The pollution nevertheless makes for wonderful dawn and dusks.

This particular sun marks not only the passage of day into night, but also the 58th anniversary of the Nakba (or catastrophe). There was little commemoration here.
