Tel Aviv

I like cities that watch the sea. The image is similar to what I see driving past Koper. The city's gaze is almost dormant. Tel Aviv has a different, a dreaming gaze. Sasa and I took a walk on the narrow land between the sea and the city, stopping to have a drink at a beach pub. It was so beautiful to sit on the beach, facing the sea and the night sky and being aware of the city's pulse behind us. We saw a star moving, coming closer, then transforming itself into the aeroplane. It zipped above and behind, beyond the city.
