Description
This desert refuge is along the Nachal kelt in the mountains. Georgian monks live here in isolation only occasionally venturing for supplies. When it rains the Nachal Kelt a 50-60 gorge can rage with flash floods.
A special thanks to Richard (Richardphotos), Seth (barryjeffer) and Robert (rachris480907) for their constant encouragement,... and for everyone in this commune :)

Your amazing shots serve to remind us all that the history of many places on this planet is far more ancient and textured than we realize. The images are always beautifully captured and your detailed explanations of them are always excellent.

Ok alida, I will answer your question in my next two images. But usually, these monks either from the Monastery of St George nearby or from another village on route to Jericho. They usually travel by foot wearing black vestment and have their supplies on a donkey with a helper. From the Monastery of St George its not very far, maybe about half an hour.

Cool. This has "leave me alone, I want to live by myself" written all over it.
