It's been a while, I know

Things have been hectic, and are going to be that way for a while. But I've got some pictures of a small settlement overlooking Nahal Kana, a dry river about 20 km west of Tel Aviv. Enjoy!

Ilan the carpenter. You can see his hillside garden on the right.


Wadi Kana. The olive trees belong to the Arab neighbors-even though it's a nature preserve, some animals are more equal than others. Some of the residents of Elmatan have started a reforestation project to re-seed the hillsides with almond (for shade, biomass and rock breakup) and carob (for nitrogen fixation) trees. We'll see how it goes.

There is a Beduin settlement below the middle hilltop, above the olive field. Again, this is in the middle of a "nature preserve." The town behind the hill is Karnei Shomron, to the left is Ginot Shomron

Happy for visitors

The town of Azzun, which has constant terrorist incidents associated with it

A hilltop house with garden. The owner built it with his own hands

Tel Aviv is in the distance
