The Tel Aviv area contains a dense grid of freeways. Each junction has a name, which act as landmarks in navigating around town. This particular junction is the crossing of a major north-south axis that goes from Jerusalem to Haifa, and an east-west axis that goes from Tel Aviv into the Occupied West Bank. The lack of any form of artifice or design, the utter placelessness despite the road crossing's strong geometry, the electrical pylons, all combine to give this place its particular flavour of poetic misuse. The picture functions in the same manner as "Winter's Water".
