By the sea near David's room

The unit where David is at Rambam is on the ground floor of a small building. If you walk out the main entrance, turn right, and then turn right again, you can follow a path between the buildings, past the window to David's room, and on to a small parking lot. The other side of the parking lot is the Mediterranean Sea.

The other day, when I was there, I saw this crow. At first, he was sitting on a fire hydrant, but then he flew over and perched on this sign:

At the time, I just snapped the picture without bothering to read the sign. But later I returned I read it. Here's my translation of what it says:

"This water flowing into the sea is only pumped ground water necessary for the construction of an underground parking structure for the Rambam hospital. This pumping and piping is being carried out with permission from the Office for the Protection of the Environment and in coordination with the City of Haifa.

For details, telephone 8542417."

Actually, I had already figure out where the water was coming from by following the pipes back. Already for quite a few months now there has been a HUGE deep whole right near the main entrance to the Rambam Medical Center complex. Not only are they building an underground parking structure, but on top of it will be three new large buildings. There's a model just inside the current main building showing how the campus will look when the construction is done. It seems like it will be very nice, and the parking situation should be much better, too. I also noticed that the whole row of small buildings where David is now will be gone.

Here's another picture (actually taken the next day) showing the fountain of water. In the background, you can see small sailboats, large container ships, and, on the horizon, Rosh HaNikra, which is the Lebanon border!
