Sunset Ein Gedi, Judean Desert, Israel
Five years ago, we made our first pilgrimage to Israel as a family. The kids were enamored with the different sounds, smells, and sights, especially the sands of the Judean Desert. Exploring along the western shore of the Dead Sea, we visited Ein Gedi, the spring of the goats, a desert oasis where David hid from King Saul over 3,000 years ago. Filled with waterfalls, pools, streams, flora and fauna, Ein Gedi is a delight for hikers, not to mention our kids who were ecstatic to frolic from pool to pool soaking in their hiking clothes. As we descended to the end of our hike, I noticed the sun setting (or was it rising?) behind the mountains we climbed. It was a transcendent moment in time, a glimpse of nature’s perfection, yearning, and peace.

Sunset and Full Moon Above the Clouds, North Lebanon
The photo was shot in my home village in the North of Lebanon (1200 meters above sea level) when I was visiting my grandfather before moving to the USA in June 2016

“Orlando is more than just Mickey Mouse and Disney World!” This photo brought back wonderful memories of a trip to Disney with my parents in 1983! My parents were retired at the time and it ended up being the last big trip we were all able to take due to my Dads failing health. They were like kids in a candy store and had more fun than we could have imagined. As they got older, we pulled out the many photographs I had taken and it always brought a smile!

The sunrise from Haleakala in Maui, at 10,000 feet elevation. It was above the cloud line, and it felt like we were on another planet. Definitely worth waking up at 2:30 am to make the 2 hour journey.
