MY to wiemy, ale ci "mądrzy inaczej" niespecjalnie. A może wiedzą, tylko nie chcą się przyznać, że wiedzą...  ???

This lighthouse was built in the 1930's on the beach to the north of Tel-Aviv, adjacent to the Yarkon Estuary in order to warn ships against approaching the shore, where sandbars were located. The 20-meter high lighthouse served the Tel-Aviv Port as well as the adjacent electricity plant harbor.
The lighthouse's identifying mark was two flashes (one long and one short), emitted every seven seconds. On 15 May, 1936 approval was received to operate a Hebrew port in Tel-Aviv. Four days later the first cargo ship to arrive at the makeshift port was unloaded. Sacks of cement were offloaded at sea and transported to shore in small boats. The porters, excited to be taking part in this historic event, expressed their joy by dancing a rousing Hora.

This 29-meter high lighthouse is built on a hilltop poised above the Jaffa Port. The Jaffa lighthouse was initially erected in 1865 as part of operations carried out by Turkish authorities to improve the port facilities. The structure appearing on the stamp was built by the British in 1936. The lighthouse's identifying mark was four white flashes, emitted every 14 seconds. The rocks along the Jaffa shore did not allow ships to enter the port, thus passengers and cargo were offloaded at sea and transported to shore in small row boats-such as that appearing on the staff to the right of the lighthouse.

The first Massada cable car was built in 1971 enabling millions of tourists from all over the world to visit the national historical site of Massada. After almost 30 years the cable car system was renewed and today consists of
larger cable cars holding up to 80 passengers each. The new position of the upper terminal allows visitors to enter the site by a bridge without having to climb steps. The length of the cable car journey is 900 meters with a
difference in height between the terminals of 290 meters. The Massada cable car is the largest of its kind in Israel. It climbs from the eastern valley of the Dead Sea above the Snake Path and ends at the magnificent Herods
Fortress – the site of the last battle in the Great Rebellion of the Jews against the Romans.

Menara Cliff

The cable car system is situated in the center of a tourist site which was opened to the public in 1998. The cable car route is the longest in the country (1895 meters) and climbs from the southern outskirts of the town, Kiryat Shemona to the Naftali Heights near Kibbutz Menara in the Upper Galilee. The cable car stops at three terminals and at each one are a number of varied activities. There are 12 cars (8 passengers per car) that travel at a height of up to 40 meters from the ground. The distance between each terminal is 750 meters. Views from the cable car include the Hula valley, Mount Hermon and the Golan and a panoramic view of Kiryat Shemona and the Geological Park in the Ramiro Nature Reserve. The site includes different recreational activities such as rides on special mountain sledges, abseiling, bike trips and walks in nature.The cable car system is the first joint venture in Israel between the Kiryat Shemona Municipality, Kibbutz Menara and a private entrepreneur. The site is a joint project of Keren Kayemeth Leisrael, The Society for the Protection of Nature, The Nature Reserves Authority and representatives of the Ministry of the Environment.

Haifa's cable car system, connecting the Bat Galim beach with Stella Maris on the top of Mount Carmel, was established in 1986. It is 355 meters long and there are 130 meters between terminals. There are 6 sphere-shaped cable cars, which enable 360 degrees of panoramic views of the Haifa bay and to the north until Rosh Haniqra. Nearby visitors sites are the National Maritime Museum, the Clandestine Immigration and Navy Museum, the Carmelite Monastery and Eliya's Cave. The cable car is open all the year round.

Rosh Haniqra

The cable car system was established in 1968 and is situated on the northwest edge of the Ladder of the Tyre hills. This is also the international border between Israel and Lebanon. The western side of the ridge descends into the Mediterranean Sea as a hanging cliff, 70 meters high. The cable car
-system has 2 cars, each with a capacity of 15 passengers, which take visitors to the crevices and caves. The caves were created naturally by the waves from the sea. Views of the Carmel in the south and the Segev-Tefen area in the east can be seen from the top of the Rosh Haniqira cliffs. The site is open all year round.

Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos)

About 30 pairs of Golden Eagles nest in Israel, in the Judean and Negev Deserts. The Golden Eagle is a national symbol of many countries and was also the symbol of the 10th Roman Legion that laid siege to Massada. The stamp shows a pair of Golden Eagles with Massada and the Dead Sea in the background. The wingspan of the Golden Eagle is about 2.20 meters. The Eagle's vision is sharp and it is capable of diving towards its prey, (mainly hares and rock pigeons) at a speed of more than 120 km per hour.

Ale piękne - orzeł nad Massadą, a wcześniej była kolejka. Jechałam nią. Można było też wejść na piechotę po schodach, ale to chyba jak się przyjedzie bez wycieczki i jest się zwolennikiem sportów ekstremalnych...  ;)
