Mandir for the seasons

MANDIR FOR THE SEASONS - AUTUMN

The Mandir lies on the western slope of the Valley of the Cross in Jerusalem which is an oasis in the midst of the city hustle. The Mandir for the seasons is seen from my favorite lookout - bold and clear against the backdrop of the landscape and separated from the surrounding vegetation as if given respect. 

Every time I come back, the Mandir's appearance changes a bit, and over long periods of time his dress changes entirely. This time of year, after the long and dry summer months, the Hatzav is the only flower that has managed to grow, signaling the beginning of Autumn and the rain to come.
