A friend once remarked that I had a proclivity to cut the tops from grain elevators, water towers, et. al. Well, he was right, and since them I've been pretty good about getting the tops in the comps, here the skyscrapers. I think thats good advice for any photographer. I mean, its easier to crop a photo, as I have here, than to add to a photo.

The Jerusalem Light Rail is a light rail line, the first of several rapid transit lines planned by Israel for Jerusalem. Construction began in 2002 and ended in 2010, when the testing phase began. It was built by the CityPass consortium, which has a 30-year concession to operate it.
Construction also involved building the Jerusalem Chords Bridge, a major city landmark, and renovating a number of central locations in the city. After repeated delays, the light rail began free and limited passenger service on August 19, 2011. Full operations began December 1, 2011. The line is 13.9 kilometers (8.6 mi) long with 23 stops. Extensions are planned to the north to Neve Yaacov and to Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem to the west.
