Picture of the Week CIII

This week we head off down to the starry skies of the Negev. To be more precise, the skies over the Ramon Crater, one of the most amazing places in Israel (read more about it here). Great shot, with an awesome 22 minute long exposure…

The pic was taken by Danielme, a guy from Nesher in Israel who has some great shots of Israel in his collection. Give him a browse.

Picture of the Week LXXVII

I haven’t been down South for a long time, not even to visit Eilat and the gorgeous Red Sea (my snorkel is fast collecting dust). So I thought I’d take a virtual trip down that way this week via my Pic of the Week. That’s right, it’s off to the South we go, with a nice desert vista to get us in the mood…

The picture was taken by moshek70, a guy from Jerusalem, who seems to love taking shots of snakes!

Picture of the Week LXVII

Staying in the desert region of Israel for another week, this week’s pic is a fine shot taken down south somewhere. Not sure exactly where, but it reminds me of “golden hour” evenings spent in Eilat, with the moon already out (can you spot it?) and the Jordanian mountains in the background taken on a pink glow for a few minutes. It’s the little details in this one…

The picture was taken by the awesome Miro42 / Meir Ben Ari, a guy from Haifa who has some truly stunning shots in his collection.

Picture of the Week LXVI

This week we trek down to the dusty south, for some desert canyony goodness. This pic is from Nahal Vardit, a small and cute creek in the southern Negev desert. If you’ve never been to the Negev, you really should check it out for some wonderful desert scenery. Especially spectacular in the morning or late evening hours.

The pic was taken by Chani14, a lady from Yuvalim, a small town in the Galilee.

Picture of the Week LVI

This week’s picture comes from down south, in the hot, steamy desert region of Israel (in the mountains around Eilat to be precise). It’s pretty darned hot there these days, as summer kicks in, so if you’re heading in that direction, cover yourself up and drink lots of water. But this picture was taken at sunrise and has a great, cooling effect…

Highly recommended to click this to make it big – really, go click! It was taken by Avi Morag, who has some gorgeous shots in his stream, and who was featured here, almost a year ago.
