A quick post tonight. I will share some of my wandering thoughts about a deep subject.

In June I will be making another trip to Israel. During the trip we will be visiting the Dead Sea. Since this is the deepest spot on earth I have been having some deep thoughts.

Here is a picture of one of the caves at Qumran where some of the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.

We also plan on visiting Jericho which is the city that is at the lowest elevation in the world. This picture is from my first visit to Israel. See: Walls of Jericho

Here is a picture of the snake trail that goes up the side of Masada. On my first trip to Israel I climbed up this trail. I do not plan on climbing it again. It was a very hard climb. Perhaps someday I will walk down, but not up.

Have you ever seen a Nubian Ibex? This one was at the welcome center at Masada. What a majestic creature. See my post A Close Look at an Ibex for more pictures.

Plus there is a picture in the same post of me cooling off under a waterfall at the Ein Gedi Nature Preserve.

I am looking forward to another visit to the deepest place on earth.

Have you been to the Dead Sea?
