Dead Sea Daybreak

Details: ISO: 100 | Exposure: not recorded | Focal Length: 35mm

Daybreak over the Dead Sea, as seen from the top of Masada, Negev desert, Israel. The original slide doesn't do justice to the amazing pallette of colors that appeared in the sky that morning.

Illlusions and Landscapes

Details: ISO: 200 | Exposure: 1/125 at f/14 | Focal Length: 300mm

Sometimes the most common sights can appear to be unusual landscapes. In this case, a small stretch of beach on the east coast at sunset appears to be a much larger landscape.

Sunrise

Details: ISO: 100 | Exposure: Not Recorded | Focal Length: 180mm

Some images require more work than others to create, while others literally appear before your eyes. This is one that required work.

This is the sunrise seen from the top of Masada, the ruins of the ancient mountain-top fortress located in the Negev desert near the Dead Sea. According to historical accounts, the Romans conquered Masada in the year 72 or 73. I climbed the the "Snake Path" on the east side, a steep, winding path that climbs some 900 feet up the side of the mountain. In ancient times, this was the only path up the mountain, and it is traditionally climbed before sunrise in order to avoid direct exposure to the sun and the desert heat.

I reached the top shortly before the sun appeared in the sky, and knew looking in the distance that the work of climbing the mountain would be rewarded.
