The Carmelit, Haifa. One of the smallest subways in the world with 4 cars, 6 stations and an 1800 meters long tunnel. The altitude difference between the first and last stations is of 274 meters.

The 19-terraced Spectacular Bahai Gardens of Haifa. This UNESCO World Heritage site includes the second holiest site of Bahaism and with no doubt a photographer's paradise. I have almost used the same angle but from different terraces.
