Old Sanaa, Yemen

Photo of Solomon's Seal in Old Sanaa, Yemen is courtesy of "LalalaLinda" who published it on Flickr and wrote to me:

I just wish they were sharper images—it was raining that day.

...And I thought it never rains in Yemen.
Anyhow that's another RARE photo to my collection.

White on Blue in Hong Kong

This is a good question and what adds to the confusion is the colors: white on blue, like the Israeli flag's blue on white.

Villa Romana, Sicily

Doubts

Star of David Mandala Israeli art Photo of Star of David Mandala is courtesy of Israeli painter Ofira Oriel
who lives in Modi’in.
Size: 120 x 150
Acrylic on canvas
Ofira didn’t want to send me this painting before it is exhibited in a gallery, but eventually she decided to make a new one for the gallery and I got it. Good decision, if I may say, and the painting has also a new quality compared to her

previously published mandala paintings.
