Photoessay 3: Love Story to a Land

The landscapes below were all taken this week and give just a wee peek at the beauty that I appreciated. Of course, photos do not come close to actually capturing the vistas, plus at the height of my physical endurance test, photography was not at the top of my priority list.

Enjoy!


A great big waterfall in Metulla. This delicious fresh water feeds the upper Jordan, into the Kinneret where it may or may not be sucked out by Israel's National Water Carrier and transported around the country for use.



Departing troops in 104 degree F weather. None of us are sure that we really want to get into this.



Kvish Yisrael (the path that runs from the north to the south of the country) marker's symbol.



Does anyone else think this is an incredibly sexual rendering of the land? Or could that just be me looking at too much Georgia O'Keefe these days?



The land's sensual curves.



Her natural pools.


Her trickles.


Her terracing on Mt. Meron.


More glorious terracing.


Her deep plunges.



How can you not fall in love?
