ISRAEL

Here are some photos I took in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and the Dead Sea during two all-too-brief trips there. For anybody with even a passing interest in religion, history, culture, architecture, natural beauty, food, nightlife, or photography, this place is truly a feast for the mind and the senses. Regardless of whether you are Jewish, Christian, Muslim, agnostic, atheist, or something else, I highly recommend a visit: my overwhelming impression while I was there was one of lots of people with strikingly different views working hard at compromising and focusing on what we have in common as brothers and sisters of the human species.
