Today I thought I would choose a simpler subject... how wrong can you be...simple sometimes is more difficult... but I will continue this trend in hopes that the next will come out better... these are supposed to be giant Lego blocks..

Another view of the beach at Ein Gedi ... photo taken on a winter day's... actually it rained a bit which is very rare in this region... calling this a WIP because it really needs some more work on it.. maybe I'll have time before date or not... I doubt it cause its the day I have "baby-sitting duty"  .  Well I did ake advantage of an hour + and am proud of myself for rolling out the table cloth and taking out the paints... fixed horizon and shore lines... and front sand... Too wet to  work but needs tweaking... should I blend more???

Another view of the Dead Sea... Life Guard station on Ein Gedi beach.  This was taken in 2003. Each year the beach recedes a meter or more... so this piece of beach is now flat hard sand and salt...

A tractor pulls a train along the hardened flats from the main spa to the beach ... this was also taken in 2003.. the tractors today are air conditioning cabins...
