Sea of Galilee
Stormy Winter Sunset
It was shot in one of our first years
living at the North of Israel. I went
out of the Michal's workshop one late
afternoon in the high autumn. The
rain clouds were coming from the
Mediterranean Sea on the West,
covering Galilee and the lake. The sun
was still bright, almost like in the
summer, and the clouds very wintery
purple .
View on the Sussita Nature Resort
It is shows ancient olive groves and the Horn
of the Ein Gev Mt. and the southeastern
shores of the Sea of Galilee. The light grey
rectangles are banana groves, covered in the
protective nets. Sussita Nature Resort is on
the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee. It is
named after the ancient city of Hippos
(Sussita) which sat on the hill in the shape
of a horse’s head (Thus the Greek name
Hippos and Hebrew name Sussita, both
meaning the horse or horse like ) It is
thought that Sussita is the city on the hill that
Jesus referred to while traveling around the
Sea of Galilee.
Summer Sunset
This was taken while cooling
ourselves in the waters of the Sea of
Galilee after an very long and
scalding hot, cloudless day. The
camera faces west, toward the
Galilee and the Mediterranean. The
color of the sky was as about as hot
as the day we were leaving behind!
