I have no idea which ones of these things are specific to Israel, but i think the schwarma - doner kebab to those of us here in England - is probably an Israel thing. I was surprised not to see felafel - Israel's national dish - on the menu.
We went to the local cider mill today, normally it's a rather quick affair but today they were super, super busy so we ended up waiting in line for well over an hour for cider. All I could think of was the The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 episode of MLP FiM where everypony waited in an absurd line for apple cider >_<. Luckily I had some forethought and grabbed a pony or two to take with me for photos around the cider mill.
Little Mac was made by TiellaNicole , I had it commissioned as a gift for my hubby as he loves BIg Mac he let me borrow him for some photos today.
die Speisekarte wurde sogar inhaltlich ganz gut vom original abgekupfert, was dann am ende dabei rauskommt ist allerdings nicht so ganz richtig: heute hatte ich einen BigMac mit zwei Semmelhälften, einem Hackfleisch und einem Hühnerpressfleisch, etwas Majo und zwei Salatblättern. Die Pommes waren allerdings exzellent, da zweimal frittiert.
Im Original ist das Schild noch ein gutes Stück verbleichter, aber etwa so dürfte es wohl vor dem letzten Sommer noch ausgesehen haben.

A drive location of McDonald's built during the big McDonald's boom in the Netherlands in the 1990's when McDonald's grew from about 50 stores in 1990 to almost 200 stores in 1999. The restyling of the exterior wiped out all traces of this era.
This store is located along the A15 and very visible from the highway but difficult to reach because when leaving the highway this store seems to be hidden away in an industrial zone with narrow streets.

Great station but the guard wouldn't let me inside for a visit. Being a government agency they are still very secretive. Still i had a great adventure trying to, 1 find out where a fire station was and 2 getting there. I asked at a police station and they ended up having 6 cops out at the desk trying to figure out what it was i was trying to find. So funny, but really friendly and helpfull. They never gave up trying to help even though they had no idea what i wanted until 1 lady spoke a little english. Incedently this station was near the mcdonalds that i then found to get my china bigmac.(See bigmacs around the world. I had 2 missions on this trip, to visit and photograph as many fire and emergency vehicles as i could and to eat a bigmac in every city)
A location which is actually a bit too small for the location on the day and night busy Place de la Bastille. It's situated at the same building as the Cinema Majestic Bastille. This location deserves a restaurant triple of its current size.

I started daily blogging in the fall of 2003 and my eJournal and images entries continue to this very day. In July 2005, when I joined Flickr, I expanded my online presence by emphasizing a daily image too. I add at least one picture every single day. Doing so reminds me to constantly capture images as a more direct record of personal experiences.

In Memory Of
Forever Remembered
During the construction of the Mackinac Bridge in the 1950’s, five men unfortunately lost their lives.
One man died in a diving accident; one man fell in a caisson while welding; one man fell into the water and drowned; and two men fell from a temporary catwalk near the top of north tower.
The names of those five men (and the date of their deaths) are listed below.
Frank Pepper, Sept. 16, 1954
James R. LeSarge, Oct. 10, 1954
Albert Abbott, Oct. 25, 1954
Jack C. Baker, June 6, 1956
Robert Koppen, June 6, 1956
After the bridge was built and opened to traffic, one MBA maintenance worker lost his life. On August 7, 1997, Daniel Doyle, a bridge painter, fell from his painting platform and drowned in the Straits of Mackinac. His tragic and unfortunate death shocked everyone.
Dan and others who have lost their lives on the job are permanently honored by MDOT in the Clare Welcome Center located in Clare, Michigan. The Employee Memorial is a permanent tribute to highway workers all over Michigan who lost their lives along highways and bridges. The Clare memorial provides an opportunity to educate the public about the human cost of building and maintaining Michigan’s transportation system.
All six of these men will forever be remembered by many.

The Mackinac Bridge (/ˈmækɪnɔː/ MAK-in-aw) is a suspension bridge spanning the Straits of Mackinac to connect the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of the U.S. state of Michigan. Opened in 1957, the 26,372-foot-long (4.995 mi; 8.038 km)[1] bridge (familiarly known as "Big Mac" and "Mighty Mac")[4] is the world's 22nd-longest main span and the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere.[5] The Mackinac Bridge is part of Interstate 75 and the Lakes Michigan and Huron components of the Great Lakes Circle Tour across the straits; it is also a segment of the U.S. North Country National Scenic Trail. The bridge connects the city of St. Ignace on the north end with the village of Mackinaw City on the south.
Envisioned since the 1880s, the bridge was designed by the engineer David B. Steinman and completed in 1957 only after many decades of struggles to begin construction.
The bridge opened on November 1, 1957,[6] connecting two peninsulas linked for decades by ferries. A year later, the bridge was formally dedicated as the "world's longest suspension bridge between anchorages", allowing a superlative comparison to the Golden Gate Bridge, which had a longer center span between towers, and the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, which had an anchorage in the middle.
It remains the longest suspension bridge with two towers between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere.[5] Much longer anchorage-to-anchorage spans have been built in the Eastern Hemisphere, including the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in Japan (6,532 ft or 1,991 m). But the long leadups to the anchorages on the Mackinac make its total shoreline-to-shoreline length of five miles (8.0 km), longer than the Akashi-Kaikyo (2.4 mi or 3.9 km).
The length of the bridge's main span is 3,800 feet (1,158 m), which makes it the third-longest suspension span in the United States and 20th longest suspension span worldwide. It is also one of the world's longest bridges overall.
David B. Steinman was appointed as the design engineer in January 1953 and by the end of 1953, estimates and contracts had been negotiated. A Civil Engineer at the firm, Abul Hasnat, did the preliminary plans for the bridge. Total cost estimate at that time was $95 million (equivalent to $726 million in 2018[12]) with estimated completion by November 1, 1956. Tolls collected were to pay for the bridge in 20 years.[15] Construction began on May 7, 1954. The American Bridge Division of United States Steel Corporation was awarded a contract of more than $44 million (equivalent to $333 million in 2018[12]) to build the steel superstructure.
Construction, staged using the 1939–41 causeway, took three and a half years (four summers, no winter construction) at a total cost of $100 million and the lives of five workers. Contrary to popular belief, none of them are entombed in the Bridge.[16] It opened to traffic on schedule on November 1, 1957, and the ferry service was discontinued on the same day. The Bridge was formally dedicated on June 25, 1958.
G. Mennen Williams was governor during the construction of the Mackinac Bridge. He began the tradition of the governor leading the Mackinac Bridge Walk across it every Labor Day.[17] U.S. Senator Prentiss M. Brown has been called the "father of the Mackinac Bridge,"[18] and was honored with a special memorial bridge token created by the Mackinac Bridge Authority.[19]
The bridge officially achieved its 100 millionth crossing exactly forty years after its dedication, on June 25, 1998.[1] The 50th anniversary of the bridge's opening was celebrated on November 1, 2007, in a ceremony hosted by the Mackinac Bridge Authority at the viewing park adjacent to the St. Ignace causeway.[1]

During the summer months, the Upper Peninsula and the Mackinac Bridge have become a major tourist destination.[40] In addition to visitors to Mackinac Island, the bridge has attracted interest from a diverse group of tourists including bridge enthusiasts, bird-watchers, and photographers.[41] The Straits area is a popular sailing destination for boats of all types, which make it easier to get a closer view to the underlying structure of the bridge.
Opened as a music themed McDonald's restaurant this restaurant has had its remodelling after a fire incident.
After the closing down of McDonald's Sloterdijk and McDonald's Sloten it's the one and only McDonald's in the West part of Amsterdam.

Steaming past the speed limit sigh (at a speed considerably less than the limit) is 1910-built McLaren road locomotive 1110 "Big Mac", registered BF 5258 and weighing 16 tons.
The engine was formerly used in New Zealand where it gained the nickname "Big Mac". The name plate has only recently been added to the engine.

The Mackinac Bridge is currently a toll bridge on Interstate 75 (I-75). Prior to the coming of I-75, the bridge carried US Highway 27 (US 27). It is one of only three segments of I-75 that are tolled, the others being the American half of the International Bridge near Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and Alligator Alley in Florida. The current toll is $4.00 for automobiles and $5.00 per axle for trucks. The Mackinac Bridge Authority recently raised the toll to fund a $300 million renovation program, which would include completely replacing the bridge deck.
Every Labor Day, two of the lanes of the bridge are closed to traffic and open to walkers for the Mackinac Bridge Walk.
Painting of the bridge takes seven years, and when painting of the bridge is complete, it begins again.[citation needed]
