I took this pictures just over two years ago, on late December 2003. The Hula valley used to be a huge swamp, until it was almost entirely dried out by the first wave of Jewish immigrants to the area in the early 1900's. Nowadays, the area is a wild life reserve, being a home for literally millions of migrating birds and other animals. The extreme contrast of the blue water against the orange-yellow bridge and the blue skies caught my eye.

What an interesting image! There is almost a Venetian feel about this scene. I like the way you have made the highest part of the bridge the central focus of the picture; in combination with that wonderfully ripply reflection it adds very significantly to the image. And the clouds - just right. A very nice composition indeed.

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...

Wonderful image! I really like how you caught the bridge in an angled line making the most of the reflections.

The contrast you achieved is incredible. Man made against the nature, yellows against the blues... Can we expect you managed to capture at least a couple of the millions of birds living in the wilde life reserve?

In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10

I take it this is a bird hide? I wonder what the rise is for though, it almost looks like it is for boats to go under, but they would have to be pretty small! Anyway, this is certainly a different side to Israel than anything I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

Tantalizing! This image reminds me of a centipede inching along. I just want to keep looking at it.
