how to stuck in snow storm and to stay alive
After the previous post about my visit in the “”snowy” Jerusalem last weekend” and all the discussions and small talk in comments on social media sites i remembered this trip that impossible to forget. One year ago after work day i decided to drive to Jerusalem and explore it during the snowstorm, but was stuck on the icy road together with a few hundreds of drivers and passengers. i spent around 16 hours in my car somewhere in the middle between TelAviv and Jerusalem. It was completely unusual to feel how the wheels persistently revolve on the same place and very strange to see the army of cars existing in the same position of trying to break through the white defence.
finally all the stuck in “jail” drivers were evacuated on the next day by army and our cars remained waiting for the “spring”. for authorities it’s took two days to clean the road with the help of the sun and snowploughs. the happy end was really happy for me – one of the members of my family took me there. more then this – in two days i had a flight to Eilat and saw the place from the height and even took some pictures of the covered by snow mountains around Jerusalem.

Thank you…
Great post, Victor. The 2nd shot is a special one that I like a lot.
I was some time during all night long and started some series about the lights in the covered by snow car. But lost my interest cos it wasnt continuesly 😉 thank you very much !
yes, these are really good…love the shot of the VW, third shot from last in series – angle, light and tones are so good!
Thank you Ani for taking your look and kind words ! Some bad situations are really good for getting out of the comfort zone 🙂
That was a truly dramatic event…love the mystery of the second photo. Beautifully exposed too.
Thank you Paula !!
Wonderful series, Victor!
My fav is the coffee mug :))
Actually it was tea inside. I got it at morning from the solders going from car to car with this tea and asking if there is for immediately help in some of cars. I said im fine cos i saw a few “neighbors” with a small children in cars around me and they needed immediately evacuation for sure.
Warm tea or coffee is definitely a must in occasions like this one.
The problem that every portion of water is always need to go outside for wc and nothing suitable around just this road and stuck cars with ppl inside ;-))))
Hahaha!!!
😉 hopeless practicality !
Oh agreed about that!! ;))
Great photojournalism! The photos are great as usual, but I’m glad you made it out alright! 🙂
