Camel in front of Bauhaus architecture in Tel Aviv, 1930s

A camel passes by plain, white-plastered residential buildings in the Bauhaus style, with pedestrians and trees lining the street. Founded in 1909, Tel Aviv grew explosively in the 1930s as European architects, many of them refugees from Germany, settled there; they shaped the city with functionalist architecture that later earned it the nickname White City and UNESCO World Heritage status. The juxtaposition of camel and modern architecture captures the city's rapid transformation in a single image.
