From the book:"On the famous Cyclamen Hill near Kibbutz Ein Hashofet in Israel, thousands of cyclamen flowers hide in the shade of tree groves. Thousands of visitors come to see them during the long flowering season.
This small book includes photographs of thousands of cyclamen flowers, that hide in another grove - unknown to most people because it grows between buildings, in a neighborhood of Nave Shaanan in Haifa, Israel. Loosely translated, Nave Shaanan means a tranquil resting-place of beauty."
The shock is in the last page of the book:
The pink-violet color of flowers and tree blossoms is beautiful.
But the title of the book is:
"SHOCKING PINK-VIOLET."
What is shocking?
The DEATH VERDICT is shocking.
The threatening death verdict on the thousands cyclamen flowers and the dozens of Judas trees (klil hahoresh) with their pink-violet flowers, together with thousands of other ornamental trees, most of them casuarina, lie in groves between the buildings.
This verdict (based on what trial evidence?), is a by product of a municipal building plan to enlarge the buildings in the neighborhood.
Instead of thousands of cyclamen flowers and thousands of ornamental trees, there will be additional apartments and parking lots.
Is this what they want?
Will someone earn money from this?
How come?
The flowers and trees are silent.
The previous parts (A & B) from the previous 2004 season of this small book were given as a part of an appeal against this death verdict. The appeal failed.
It is not known yet whether the photographs in this book present an oasis of beauty that will continue to enrich us every season, or will the oasis be spoken of in the past tense as:
"Once it was beautiful, but no more."
