Colour Bombing. Sunset, Jewish women on a daytrip into the Makhtesh Ramon collecting sand from a natural coloured sand playground, the sand is collected and placed there from all over the crater area. The sacrality of this place is given by the million years of its origins and it's known by humans since it was crossed by the caravans of the ancient incense route.

Kamikaze Jump.
A bunch of friends challenging their fears jumping off the walls of Akko; their way of celebrating the Shabbat, the traditional day of restfor the Jewish culture, gathers an excited audience of locals and turists.
The strong fortification wall, started by the crusaders around 1500 years ago and reconstructed by the arabs in 1750, resisting to the attack of Napoleon's Navy, pays tribute to the abilty of the people through all history.
