Although located about 5 minutes from one of the most expensive places in Israel, Jisr AzZarqa is known as the poorest village in Israel (or at least somewhere at the bottom...).
Otherwise it's located on a beautiful piece of land on the Mediterranean.
In order to captchure the photos in this albums I decided to spend there a night - to manage to catch both, sunset and sunrise at the local tiny fishermen harbor.
I guess I might go back for some more...
Enjoy!

Ranch hand 'Humberto' - mending fences
"Special" People I've been fortunate to meet "On the road":
Driving home from the San Francisco area, on Interstate 5 thru the San Joaquin Valley, I took a 'backroad' detour into the golden, rolling California hills (created by the San Andreas earthquake fault); I stopped to talk to this very friendly ranch hand, Humberto, who was mending fences on this dry grassland -- that is actually good for grazing cattle!
Humberto didn't have a computer, but said his friend did; so today I sent him a link to his photo and video. We had a great talk!
When I downloaded this I wondered how long this fence mending work has gone on here. Surely over 100 years, when men rode horseback to do the same job. Just like it's been done all over this country. But I think most of us recognize it as a romanticized job of a cowboy and his trusty horse "ridin' the range".
