Description

Mt Precipice is near the town of Nazareth. In this view we are looking over the Valley of Jezreel, where many battles in recorded in the Tanakh were fought. At the other end, towards the extreme right (and just outside the photo) is Har Meggido or the mound of Meggido. It is from Har Meggido, we get the English word -- Armaggedon.

Lovely and educational. And very intentially used. I bet the irrigation methods used are very sophisticated. I saw some irrigation equipment used by the Hopi which came from Israel.

More battles have been fought in this valley than in any other place on Earth... It is beautiful and looks like a patchwork quilt. Stunning colors, brilliant capture my friend.
