Hello. My name is Daniel Santacruz and I am a journalist living in Maale Adumim.

These pictures were taken during my bike rides in Maale Adumim and its surrounding areas, such as Azaria, Qedar, the Nature Reserve of Nofe Prat and Mishor Adumim.

Biking has given me the opportunity to explore places few people have seen or can't get to.

Maale Adumim, which is mentioned in the Book of Kings, is located in the Judean Desert, north of Jerusalem.

Enjoy the pictures.
