The Cave of the Incense

From this cave was removed 900 pounds of the spices that had been meant for the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

The Real Qumran

The place that is visited by tourist which is called Qumran is where they found remains of dwelling and evidence of a small community of some sort.
But the stone structure in this picture which is about two kilometers north of that, is where they found the dead sea scrolls. And the story of this pile of rock did not end with the scrolls. through interpretation of the scroll was found among these rocks the remains of the anointing oil and the incense which were used in the holy temple.
And as was believed by the late archaeologist Vendyl Jones, may be the place that the arch of the covenant is buried.

Sartaba Israel Through the Barbedwire

This is view of the Sartaba Mountain peek through the barbed wire surrounding the Gitit water tower.

Sartaba is one of the locations where the jews would light a great bonfire at the appearance of the new moon. This was when the holy temple stood in Jerusalem.

Amazing Sunset


This was really the most amazing sunset I have ever seen in my life.
The second picture has me in it right under the blazing sky.

Dawn of a New Day

The very best part about being up all night is the sunrise. I used to be crazy about getting sunrise pictures. Maybe I`ll get up extra early tomorrow to get some good shots of the sun braking out over the horizon.

Israeli Scorpion

They say that if you do not stuff you socks tightly into your boots you better shack them out good before you put them on. That is because these muscular scorpions may find your boot to be a nice warm home for the evening.

What is This Blog?

So I love to take pictures! and I live in Israel, so to take lots of pictures of the places that I go to is something that I have been doing for as long as I can remember. to day with digital cameras its eve better, because I can take as many pictures as I want without having to spend a peeny on film. So I have taken a lot of great pictures of Israel. I used to take a lot more landscape pictures but I have actualy stoped that lately because even when they come out nice or even great pictures what am I going to do with them? I hope that this blog will be an inspiration for me to take more pictures of the holy land. I also feel that by using the internet I could make a bit of extra income by selling people that are looking to purchase images on line the ability to buy my pictures of Israel for not a lot of money.
