A closeup of the Western Wall (wailing wall) of the Temple Mount. The papers are prayers of the Jewish people.

Potential Alltel commercial. "more bars in more places"

These are two more pics at En Gedi. They show the stark contrast between watered areas and not watered areas.

This is me on the shores of the Dea of Gallilee. It is black and white because it looks better than color.

This is me holding up a huge rock. (not really) :)

This is another good picture of the Judean Wilderness.

This is the insode of one of the massive cisterns @ Masada. Herod the Great had 8 of them built. These cisterns would have been able to suppl hundreds of people with water for years.

This is a big canyon that we hiked thru early in the morning ( it was COLD!!!). It was on a wildlife preserve.
