Hi!

When I first picked up the camera, these were the sort of pictures I was hoping to catch.

Finally, more than 6 months later, I got my first real chance.

So, I apologize for the long post, and I hope you enjoy.

Raz

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Raz...haven't been in a while...
    but Eilat has to be a photographer's dream if you have the time and can stand the heat. there are wonderful colors in those mountains and i'm looking forward to the next time I get a chance to visit...

    Regards...Keith (ps - married an Israeli from Jerusalem, so I get a chance to visit more than most...)

    Thank you all for your warm replies.

    Yeah, that wasp was almost an inch long and made a hellova racket.

    Eilat mountains are surely a nice place. I haven't been there for 10 years, and this was a great trip. The weather was as diverse as the colors of the rocks. It was burning hot the first day, and we had to change our plans. On the last day, while returning home we passed through some floods...

    Thanks again,
    Raz
