Picture of the Week LXVIII

This week I’m heading down the road from my house for a shot of the magnificent Sea Of Galilee. Every time I head down towards the Sea of Galilee (or the Kinneret as it’s known in Hebrew) I’m reminded of past holidays and long drunken weekends, so it will always hold some magical memories for me. Ahem, there’s absolutely no proof of anyone spotting me, early morning, kipping on the traffic islands near Tiberias back in the late-90s. It’s all lies. Lies I tell you!

Picture of the Week XXIV

This week we are heading up north for a nice little shot of the Sea of Galilee, or the Kinneret as it’s known in Hebrew. As it’s Israel’s primary source for drinking water, the level of the Sea of Galilee becomes a national news story almost every time there’s rain in Israel. Currently, the level is at an alarmingly low level, but with high hopes of a wet winter, things are looking a little rosier.

For those of you interested, here’s a regularly updated report on the level of the Sea of Galilee, via Twitter.

The picture was taken by rev_411, a guy with some great shots in his collection, but I couldn’t see any more of Israel so I’m guessing he was here on holiday. Check him out!
