I've experieced a full year of four seasons in nature for the first time in many years. When I still lived in Jerusalem, I couldn't fully experience four seasons not only because I seldom left my apartment except for daily running on weekday mornings and some other daily routines but also because to all intents and purposes there are only two seasons - summer and winter - in Israel with very short sprint and fall.
In this new place where I started living at the beginning of October 2023 there are full four seasons, and I also walk quite a lot in nature not only for my weekly self-seclusion in nature on Sabbath late afternoons.
Right after I moved here, I thought of taking pictures of the nature here, but I soon gave up this idea, realizing that I can't fully capture it with pictures, though I send pictures of the changing nature at least once a week to my closest friends in Jerusalem.
I've also realized how detatched I had been from nature in Jerusalem not because of the place but because of my life style. I was a typical city dweller, paying little attention to how nature changes and how this change affects the way I feel.
I still prefer living in a big city, and in its center at that, as I used to in Jerusalem, and will hopefully be able to do so again in the future, but I want to combine then the benefits of living in a big city with those of experiencing four seasons in nature.
