rail

this is an attempt to go to every train station in israel and take a photo in each. currently, i’ve been to 3 out of 67 stations. new arrivals are logged.

Haifa — Bat Galim

bat galim means “daughter of the waves” in hebrew. i’ve always considered making it my moniker if i ever make middle-eastern inspired synth pop. outside this station is a condemned building, that i can never take my eyes off of. i wish i had the time to explore it.

Karmiel

this is my hometown’s one and only train station. it’s a terminus, which means i always get to sleep without worrying about missing my stop. i like it so much not only because of the nostalgia, but also because it makes some really nice choices: the coffee shop has two entrances, one from each side of the gate. this has been done already but never quite so elegantly. it does look unfinished from the outside, though.

Tel Aviv — Savidor Central

this is my favourite train station in tel aviv. it’s got three entrances: two from tel aviv and one from ramat gan. there’s a piano on the upper floor, and people occasionally play very nice music that takes me away from the hustle and bustle of the station. i think there’s going to be a book store here eventually.
