  • This is what we went camping at Lake Kinneret (Tiberius) for. We just want to laze around in the water, fish, eat and enjoy a few days of rest.

  • Caught Giora and Dimitry in the act of setting up a tent. Giora was working and Dimitry was "helping" hold up the tree so it would not fall over and injure Giora.

  • Once we got the camp set up, this is what it looked like, 4 families, 8 adults, 10 kids (all of them girls from ages 6-16.....) The quiet of the morning was fantastic...

  • What better way to spend a few days than to get up in the morning, fix a cup of coffee, put your feet up and just "read" the lake. But then Tal would get up and go swimming, right out of her bed, what would YOU do first thing in the morning on a camping trip??

  • We arrived at the camp site on a day when a holiday was just ending and the weekend was still two days away... What this meant was that we had the lake almost to ourselves for two days, you can see us here in the water, it is only US and our FRIENDS here. The other nearest people were a small group 200 meters away and that was all, amazing for this area which can be croweded on weekends or holidays.

  • Caught Valera and Tal going off by themselves to take a sleep on their water mattresses. The weather was so calm that it was just great to lay in the water and sleep.

  • This is one of the pics that I have really liked in a while, the backdrop of the mountains over Tiberius and the moon shining on the lake just made me want to photograph it. For some reason the lights in the city of Tiberius had not come on yet, so you had the deep darkness of the hill slopes in complete dark which enhanced the skyline.

  • As you can see, I had competion looking for good spots to lie down to make the photos on the moonset and sunset, if I didn't get there first then I would find Natasha in "MY" spot. Funny because she kept claiming that it was HER spot, weird huh..

  • Well we all knew that the fun had to end and we would have to return to the real world of work and work. This was the last picture as we piled into our cars for the 4 hour drive home to Arad.

  • One of the pilgrims who has made his way to the Sea of Galilee is about to receive the baptism rite from the priest who first preforms a prayer before immersing the pilgrim in the waters of the Jordan River.

    Address: Sea Of Galilee, north eastern Israel
    Directions: Just off highway 90 after the junction with highway 92 at the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee. After you trun left at that junction, it is about 1 kilometer and then you will see a sign saying "YARDENIT", turn left there and go about 100 meters.

     Hello Martin, it's many years since I lived in Tiveria - I spent 4 and a half years in the town from 1978 - 1982. The town was small and friendly then and we all knew one another. Now of course it must have changed beyond comparison.
