The Negev desert in Israel is a fascinating place
There is the Dead Sea, which is considered the lowest
place on earth below sea level, there is the Judean desert
and there is the Negev desert itself
Most of the land is arid and desolate, yet one can find
areas of water and oasis
The patterns and colors of the rocks, canyons and land are
stunning in their beauty
I am sure that after seeing these images you will grasp the meaning of
DESERTOPHILIA
