Hi
My name is Omer Bitas, i’m 29 years old and I live In tel-Aviv Israel.
Adding photos is my favorite contribution to google maps. There’s just something about the ability to show someone else the magnificent sights that traveling our world summons you. it could be anything- from a beautiful milk swirl at your new favorite cafe, an awe inspiring museum hall that you wanted to visit for so long or a breathtaking 360 degree panorama of the busiest plaza in town. something about the idea that you can share what you see, and sometimes feel, with people that you will never meet or have met in your life and in that- you managed to emote or educate or knowledge them in any way, is a moment that makes me look at the great tools we have today at the palm of our hands, tools that actually makes the world a little better place to be part of.
In Hebrew the word of “Sight” is מראה (Mar-eh) which is also the same spelling as the Hebrew word for “Mirror”- I believe that the sight we choose to share are small glimpse to who we are and what we find beautiful and precious around us.
