Several people have asked me if I photoshopped this. I took it at sunset at the beach at Herzliya, Israel (@CityofHerzliya), which is a central part of the “Silicon Wadi” (Hebrew for “Silicon Valley”), where some/most of the largest tech companies in the world operate. If you’re using a computer to read this, the microprocessor inside it was likely designed in Israel, not far from here.

Back to the photoshop question. The image that came from my camera was washed out by the intense sunlight, so what I did was intensify the colors to match what my eyes actually saw. So this is what it looked like when I was there.
Here are the rest of the photos from my walk. It capped a day of learning about my heritage in other parts of Tel Aviv and reminds of the miracle that being alive is for all of us.
