Stillwater Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Today we fly from Ben Gurion Intl. ... ... to Tel Aviv. What an impressive city. And even with a little "cityscape" here, some houses wth Hebrew letters. Beach after beach, though in Corona times with no PeopleFlow. Waymarks at Netanya... ... and the harbours at Habonim Beach. At Haifa we turn inland... ... towards Lake Genezareth / Lake Tiberias. It is the lowest freshwater lake on Earth and the second-lowest lake in the world (after the Dead Sea, a saltwater lake). It is approximately 53 km (33 mi) in circumference, about 21 km (13 mi) long, and 13 km (8.1 mi) wide. Just some info for Angus, the elderly Scotsman - and Karl. The main inlet of the lake is the upper Jordan river... ... which leads us to the Golan Heights. We all know about their strategic relevance and the conflicts in this region. John Lennon was just so right. Kiryat Shmona, the northernmost Israel city. Just seconds later we descend towards the beautiful Lebanon coast... ... and into Beirut. Who needs L.A. when you have such a location? Just the peace is missing in this region... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much for that comment, TT. The song is, indeed, a great piece of art, and fitting to remembering as well as to thoughts of "how could it be". 4 hours ago, Neptune6 said: Good Flight to Israel ... nice pics ...

Even though there are no bridges above it... The landscape looks so inviting, it is a pity what is going up around there. Syria is only 20 kilometers away from Kiryat Shmona, Damaskus and Beirut are 40 miles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
