I made a quick trip to Israel for family matters. Yes it is a long way to go for such a short time, sometimes a quick trip is a good thing.
I did spend the weekend by the Sea of Galilee and am sharing some images.
Early morning (jet lag will do that), fog on the lake (despite being called a sea, it is a rather small lake). I love it when I take a picture and it comes out this incredible.
The only way you can see that the other shore isn’t that far away is the waves breaking.
A few hours later, the fog has burned off and the sun is hot. That is the Golan Heights on the other side.
A small tributary. In Israel, any body of water is precious.
The Eucalyptus tree is native to Australia but was brought to Israel in the 1950s. I wish they had bought a Koala along, since that is the main use of the tree.
They eat the leaves. Unfortunately the wood and the fruit of this tree is useless.
We hiked up Mt. Meron, one of the highest peaks in the Upper Galilee.
Looking down on the agricultural communities below.
May is late in the season for wildflowers, this is the only area that they are still blooming.
We shared the path with some local cows.
The milk and cheese products from the area are wonderful, now I know why, free range cows.
More pictures to come.
