Eretz Israel - Land of impressive places

If ever there was a place where water was the perfect temperature, no matter what time of year, this is it. Even with an autumn or winter nip to the air, swimmers like the jubilant one featured in the above photo can jump in and enjoy a balmy 82 degrees at the Gan Hashlosha Nature Reserve in northern Israel — thanks to this spring's location along a heat vent in the earth's crust.






Forest in northern Israel

An enchanted forest area in northern Israel

At sunrise, a meadow of cyclamen flowers gives this wooded area in northern Israel the look of what the photographer calls an "enchanted forest." Their tiny pink petals seem to stretch up to greet the sun's rays, while the cyclamen leaves cover the ground in a velvety blanket of green.

The rolling hills, sharp cliffs, deep canyons and layers of rock that comprise Israel's Negev desert glow with the warm light of the newly rising sun. You could spend all afternoon in the desert without noticing the subtle beauty of the textured landscape that is so apparent at dawn.
