Round and Round They Go

Eilat is a city that loves roundabouts.  It does not have a single traffic light within the city limits, only roundabouts.  To celebrate its affinity for these traffic guiding structures, the city has constructed sculptures and other pieces of art inside each roundabout.  On our ride into the lab, we pass several of these decorated roundabouts, each with its own unique character.

This is the first roundabout we pass on our way into the lab.  It's location is where the last traffic light was removed from Eilat.  It serves as a ode to the early times of the city, and to confuse tourists with its constantly blinking lights.

Roundabout number two: David Naomi Square.

Roundabout number three: I actually have no idea what the deal is with this one.

Roundabout number four: again no idea.

Roundabout number five: Underwater Observatory Square, an ugly replica of the aquarium next to IUI.

Roundabout number six: this roundabout supposedly celebrates the Jazz culture of Eilat.

This last roundabout before the labs has the symbol of the freemasons on a pyramid.  I wonder what that's all about.
