We ascended the cliff overlooking our home, at the oasis on a lovely spring day

The sunrise would inspire any Hollywood director

The garden has fulfilled its promise

We took a peek around our neighborhood

...in the garden that rose from the desert

Here's Zruya cliff, watching over us

And Mount Yishai joins the party (Mind you, that's how Kibbutz Ein-Gedi looked only 50 years ago...)

The garden, stretching out between the Dead Sea and the Judean desert

...was the starting point for our hike

We were not in a hurry

It has rained a little

...as you can see for yourself

No, this is not a geo-morphological field lesson

That's the spot where our youngsters light the Hanukkah flames for eight days

...to be seen from afar

A somewhat Zionist symbol over-looking our Kibbutz Ein-Gedi

We felt our hearts beating fast. Was it the climb or the excitement?

Mount Yishai - a panoramic view

Arugot Valley has forced its way to the Dead Sea between the mountains

Twilight on our way back home

Wait a minute, the full moon is just around the corner!

At the foot of Masada cliff

...in a valley that sank into marlstone in a many centuries ago

...the moon is reflected from the nature made figures - fantastic, romantic, imaginative shapes

And thus, our spring day trip in Ein-Gedi, came to an end in this one of a kind oasis, in the Judean desert, Israel [email_address] All rights reserved to Kibbutz Ein Gedi www.ein-gedi.co.il
