Well we were getting organised to celebrate the jewish new year when we smelt smoke.. at first we thought someone was doing a barbque but then it became obvious that the smell was of burning grass and trees came from the valley...many of the people had gone away to family to celebrate the holiday and must have been quite shocked to see the the burnt ground around their houses. By chance on while on my way home I saw the town mayor arriving home , after the fire had been put out and looked visably shaken . The day before new year I drove to Rosh Pinna. To get there on has to cross the Jorden river. The bridges were built for tanks during the 6 day war to drive onto the golan over the river Jorden. About a year and a half ago the roadworks started in order to build one bridge as opposed to two oneway bridges (see picture below) that I had known ever since arriving in the goan 21 years ago!!

fire on rosh hashanna-jewish new year
This meant one of the bridges was closed and traffic lights were put in place on the second bridge. Anyway I arived to find the new bridge was complete and thus the only traffic light on the Golan no longer exists!!!!!!
I wanted to add a picture of the bridge with the traffic lights ... but anyway here are two older pictures of the bridge.....in a previous generations!!! The fallen bridge I remeber well!!! I will photo and post a picture of the new bridge-meanwile does anyone have a picture of the traffic ligt they will allow me to download here?
