Ein Gedi, Israel

Oasis to which David escaped from King Saul

January, 1999

Ein Gedi, overlooking the Dead Sea
Kerry, Michael, Brian, Adena

The moss-drenched cave of Ein Gedi was sprayed with water

Brian hanging on the path to one of the oasis' caves
Or, guarding the way while the girls changed

Sunlight striking bushes, overlooking the Dead Sea

A natural arch during a long day hike

Somehow, plants could grow in this barren land

A few times a year, flash floods ripped through the canyon
Water spills over Window Ledge, bringing fresh water to the oasis

Brian hiking down from the overland route circling the oasis
