Airforce. A pair of Tristram's Starlings resting on a rock in Ein Gedi National Reserve; after a couple of hours of spotting, trekking and rock climbing, they decided to pose just a meter far from me, almost choosing themselves this composition. Their species nestle in the area where the ruins behind them lie from 5000 years, originally a temple erected for water-linked ceremonies; overlooking the land home of the Ein Gedi Kibbutz, a recent collective community of people, allowed to live there thanks to the two springs generated from the rainfalls over the mountains behind.

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.

Splash Battle.
Youngsters having fun on a refreshing shady riverwalk on the Hermon Stream in Banias Natural Reserve.
