The Presentations saga begins with the early
winter floods in the Negev December 21st
2002. The Negev Floods presentation spreads
from email to email on the Internet, while the
winter plays his part too...

This is how Makhtesh Gadol (One of the three
craters Makhteshim of the Negev) looked like
while its main river was flooded.
???? ??? ???? ???? ???...
But dont be fooled by the sight it is usually
dry like here (but always colorful that is to
say !)

And several rainy days in January brought a
surprising flow of water alongside one of the
Carmel mountains roads.

The Carmel National Park was blessed with water,
as in this river Nahal Bustan, which is
usually dry.

February 2003 turned out as one of the rainiest
months in Israel for many years. Northern parts
of the country got hundreds of millimeters of
rain, and the waterfalls were gushing with
water.This is one of them Orvim waterfall,
on the western slopes of the Golan.

The cows had a very juicy time. Their sight,
under the cloudy skies of Hahula valley, looked
like a picture taken in the European Alps.

We dont see here such a double rainbow so often,
so it was worth leaving my tuna sandwich lunch
and rushing to take the picture.It was on the
Northern Galilee, on road 99.

The presentations circulation led to a fantastic
hospitality with the Raz family in Mevaseret
Tzion (with me helping with the house hold
snow-related works) on the big snow event in
Judea mountains and Jerusalem.

Touring Jerusalem on February 26th 2003 was a
unique experience. Jerusalem is always charming,
but add the snow factor and its really
amazing. Here is Migdal David.

Although most people stayed at home, finding a
parking place was a demanding task in snowy
Jerusalem, as snow covered all parking spaces,
like these piles near the former Sergeii Hostel.

This picture is released to the public only now,
uncovering the latest police weapon the snow
policeman. As you can see he is well equipped to
fight any terror event and even snow balls attack
during Shabes.

The White tour in Jerusalem presentation was
ended with this photo of the place where history,
cultures, politics and more meet Wailing Wall
square, the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock.

A few hours drive up north takes us to the
volcanic hills of the Golan, covered with thick
layer of snow.

By March the green sights were everywhere, such
as here in the wheat fields near Ruhama, on the
northern Negev.

The blooming this year was astonishing. This is
the Cyclamen, taken from a low angle, expressing
its majestic appearance.

Shop of Horrors. It was actually seen in Judea
Desert, and known as the Borage.

character...

One of the most impressive mountainous regions in
Israel is Eilat Mountains found just near the
resort town Eilat. A celebration of rocks,
colors, canyons and cliffs.

In another part of the Negev, Nahal Havarim is
ideal for hiking in the night, when its rock
formations seem bright in the moonlight.
